Notice to Residents
The City of Kawartha Lakes is undertaking a capital project to reassess and inspect the Fenelon Falls Standpipe (Water Tower). The scope of work also includes some repairs to facilitate the work. The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) was retained by the City to manage this capital project. Landmark Municipal Services will be the main contractor. The work is anticipated to start on November 1st, 2021 and end November 5th, 2021.
In order to allow for this work, the standpipe (water tower) will be isolated during the entire project. Landmark’s work schedule is reported to be Mondays to Fridays 7:30a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and as required within the noise bylaw requirements.
Water quality - The water will continue to be safe to drink. If pressure fluctuations are experienced, it is possible there may be discoloured water for a period of time. Please try running the cold tap for five minutes to clear it. If you experience any persistent water discolouration, please report this to the municipality by calling 705-324-9411 during usiness hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm.
Water pressure - The water system pressure will be maintained by pumps at the water treatment plant. The pumps are equipped with variable frequency drives that would operate the pumps faster or slower to maintain water pressure in the distribution system. Residents may experience periods of water pressure fluctuations.
We understand this construction may cause some inconveniences and noise. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact one of the following personnel. Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation.
