Township of Brock - Beaverton - Water Distribution System Cleaning - Public Notice

The Region of Durham has contracted IQ Environmental to clean the watermains in Beaverton as part of our regular water supply system maintenance program.

The cleaning program will be performed between April 28 and May 23, 2025.

Residents will receive a hand-delivered notice 24 to 48 hours prior to the start of the cleaning operation on their street. The work will be carried out in an efficient manner with the least possible inconvenience to residents. You are advised to keep a supply of water on hand for drinking, cooking and general purposes during this cleaning procedure. 

This work will be performed during the night between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. the following morning. It is suggested that you close the shut-off valve at the water meter to ensure that water is not drawn into the home until cleaning is completed.  Where this is not possible, it is very important that no water is used for any purpose, including the flushing of toilets, furnace-mounted humidifiers and backwashing of water softeners. If water is used during this period, it could result in material being drawn into the internal plumbing of your home causing a blockage. 

Once the cleaning operation is complete, we ask that you turn on a cold water tap only and let it run for approximately five minutes before using hot water.

Thank you for your patience and co-operation.
