Discoloured water could be a thing in Perth next week as scheduled maintenance plays out

Discoloured water can be very concerning when it comes out of your tap, and it could happen next week in Perth, but don’t worry, it’s expected.

The town’s Environmental Services staff will be taking care of their Fall hydrant flushing. It goes on around the town from October 4-8.

They say you may notice a change in the colour of your water while its happening, but that’s only temporary. Just leave the cold water running until it clears up.

If you have more problems as the work is being done, please call the town at 613-267-3311 ext. 2221.
