Lansdowne asks residents to be prepared for routine sewer maintenance

The village of Lansdowne in Leeds and the Thousand Islands (TLTI) will be conducting routine sewer maintenance on July 16 and 17, 2024 and the TLTI Operations department wants to make sure residents aren’t caught unaware by its possible side effects.

“Work involves high-pressure cleaning of the sanitary sewers located on the roadway,” the Village said in a release regarding the work.

“This type of cleaning activity can cause ‘splashing’ in toilets,” the statement continued. “It is recommended that all toilet seats are left in a closed position during this maintenance work, that customers refrain from using toilets when maintenance vehicles are present, and that water in all plumbing fixtures (taps) is run for a minimum of 30 seconds after the work has been completed.”

Customers may resume using facilities as usual once the maintenance vehicles have left the area, the village said.

For more information or any concerns, residents are asked to contact TLTI Operations at 613-659-2415 ext. 211.
