Hard Water Notice

December 12th, 2024 – Infrastructure Services is notifying residents that the lime system is down at the Water Treatment Plant for maintenance.  Maintenance to the lime system at the Water Treatment Plant could affect the hardness of the water. As a result, customers will be receiving water which is harder than the water you usually receive. This does not effect the quality of the water, the water is safe for consumption.

Hard water is caused by naturally occurring minerals and does not pose a health risk; however, it can cause spots on glasses and fixtures. You can minimize spotting by hand washing dishes or towel drying them immediately after the dishwasher rinse cycle. If you already have spots on your glasses, soak them in white vinegar for 5 to 10 minutes.

For additional questions, contact the department at 705-272-5086.

Thank you for your co-operation and patience.
