NOTICE TO USERS SEWER FLUSHING
Starting Wednesday May 14, 2025
Please be advised that Veolia will be using the services of Quinte Sewer for the sanitary sewer flushing program starting May 14, 2025. The flushing program is necessary to remove grit, sand, gravel and greases from the sewer mains. This maintenance operation aids in the prevention of sewer blockages, odour generation and premature wear of the piping and mechanical components. The flushing is expected to take approximately 2 weeks but could continue longer depending on weather.
The work will not affect the majority of homeowners and businesses or cause disruption to service. However, there is a possibility of some noise and small spills. Odours may result in some homes, here is why: The sewer cleaning process uses a high pressure water jet to scour the pipes clean. When the water jet passes through the sewer main, the water pressure draws air through the pipes. This air movement has the ability to push out, or pull in the water and air held inside your plumbing and U-shaped traps; this includes your toilets, showers, sinks and fl oor drains.
