Work Could Discolour Ingersoll Water

Wednesday, 1 February 2012 08:36

If it's brown...let it run down. That's the rule in Ingersoll over the next couple of weeks, as the County replaces a water pump at the Canterbury Water Treatment Facility. The work begins today, and is expected to wrap up by the 13th. The work will change the water flow, stirring up some sediment in the underground pipes. That could lead to some funny looking water (reddish-brown or yellow), but the County insists it's still safe, and you simply have to run cold water to flush out the discolouration. Water Specialist Deb Goudreau says the new pump won't be the end of water issues in Ingersoll. "This won't solve all of the problems. The long term solution is to really get rid of those old water mains that are in the Ingersoll distribution system. There is about 22km of those mains, so they can't be replaced overnight. It's a multi-year program we're undertaking to do that."
