Sonya Drinking Water System upgrades may result in pressure fluctuations on July 15, 2025

Users of the Sonya municipal drinking water system may experience periods of pressure fluctuations and/or low pressure on Tuesday July 15, 2025.

These fluctuations will be temporary and regular pressure levels will resume once the system upgrades have been completed. During the upgrades, the drinking water supply will be supplemented with water from another municipal drinking water system. While the difference in drinking water source may result in a change to taste and odour, please note that this will not affect the quality of water. The water will remain safe to drink.

All drinking water continues to be monitored and tested and remains safe to drink. There may be brief periods of time when your water becomes cloudy or discoloured; please note that this is not harmful. Simply let your cold-water tap run until the water runs clear. Be sure to check your drinking, cooking and laundry water before using.

Please reach out at any time if you have questions or concerns regarding your drinking water. For additional information on water quality and treatment in Kawartha Lakes please visit the Water Quality page on our website.

For Annual Drinking Water Reports please visit the Water, Wastewater and Sewer page and look for the Annual Reports (Drinking Water and Wastewater) tab.
