A message from Oxford County
Annual fall watermain flushing begins next week in Oxford County starting on Wednesday, September 16, and is expected to wrap up on November 9.
When watermains are flushed, customers may experience discoloured water or sediment in the areas being flushed. To prepare, set aside tap water for use to avoid drawing discoloured water into your pipes. When flushing is complete and if you experience discoloured water, run cold water until the water runs clear.
