Kawartha Lakes – Sanitary sewer flushing is set to begin in Bobcaygeon and Coboconk on September 29 from 7am to 7pm each day. 

This preventative maintenance is necessary to remove settled and accumulated material from our sewer lines. The flushing will also help to eliminate the potential for sanitary sewer main surcharging which can result in damage to property.

During this process, the contractor will be setting up apparatus at manholes in the roadway and releasing pressurized water through the sanitary sewer main pipe to remove any debris buildup. As a result, a bubbling and/or vacuum effect may be noticed in your drains and toilets. It is recommended that residents close all toilet seats and cover any floor drains.

After your area has been completed, we recommend refilling all plumbing traps in your home by running the water in your sinks and floor drains to prevent sewer gases from migrating into the home.
