Watermain Flushing and Swabbing

To ensure the City of Vaughan continues to provide clean and safe drinking water to residents and businesses, regular maintenance is required. Our water operators routinely perform preventive maintenance on our service lines. This maintenance is called “flushing and swabbing.” Over time, mineral and sediment buildup can discolour water and slow down its flow. Flushing and swabbing the watermains removes natural build-up of scale and sediments from water and assists in improving pressure, flow and potential water quality issues.

Household Hazardous Waste, Electronic Waste and Batteries

Examples include batteries, cleaners, medications, needles, paints, motor oil, chemicals, grease, fertilizers and more. These items are not collected with your household waste.
