Varna watermain flushing schedule

The Varna water distribution system undergoes routine flushing which is completed by Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA). The remaining dates for 2026 are:

• July 16
• August 20
• September 17
• October 15

Note: These dates were originally posted along with the Spring Watermain Flushing Schedule for all Bluewater distribution systems. Spring watermain flushing has been completed throughout the rest of Bluewater.

You may experience discoloured water coming from your tap. If this happens, we suggest you try the following:

• Remove the tap aerators from your taps and flush the cold water house line until it runs clear.
• Flush out your hot water tanks. This is to remove the accumulated iron that precipitates out in the tank; this iron may also decrease the efficiency of your water tank.

You may experience fluctuating water pressure due to the flushing activities.
