The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) has scheduled routine maintenance work on the sanitary sewer systems in the Town of Lansdowne

The work is scheduled to take place October 13-October 16, 2026, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

This routine maintenance work involves high pressure cleaning of the sanitary sewers located in the roadway. This type of cleaning activity can sometimes cause back pressure, resulting in ‘splashing’ occurring in toilets. It is recommended that all toilet seats are left in a closed position during this maintenance work, that you refrain from using toilets when maintenance vehicles are present near your location, and that you run water in all plumbing fixtures (taps) for a minimum of 5 Seconds after the work has been completed.

Once the maintenance vehicles have left your area, you may resume using your facilities
as usual.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Ontario Clean Water Agency Seaway Valley Cluster at 613-340-4563 and request to speak to the Operator On call.
