2026 Sanitary & Storm Sewer Flushing and CCTV Program in Pelham

2026 Sanitary & Storm Sewer Flushing and CCTV Program in Pelham

Sanitary and storm sewer flushing and CCTV will begin on September 14. Flush and camera trucks will be in various locations north of Highway 20 (Regional Road 20) and Downtown Fonthill as they complete these works.

• When: September 14 – November 30, 2026, from 7:00 am until 5:00 pm Monday through Friday, dependent on weather conditions. Heavy rain may cause some delays.
• Where: Various locations North of Highway 20 (Regional Road 20) from Lookout Street to Hurricane Road and Downtown Fonthill.
• What: Flush and camera trucks will be cleaning and videoing the sanitary and storm sewers to clear away debris, blockages and inspect sewer conditions. Please expect some delays when these trucks are set up to complete the work.
• Why: Regular sewer flushing and CCTV reduces the likelihood of built-up debris and blockages, residential back-ups and allows the Town to assess the conditions of sewers to assist in decision making for future maintenance and repair works.

Areas with sensitive plumbing will be notified by letter 48 hours before flushing operations commence. As a best practice, during the inspection period, residents are encouraged to close all toilet lids, as pressure within the sanitary system may cause air bubbles to rise through them.
