Scheduled maintenance could affect water in parts of Timmins this week.

According to a city notice, there is scheduled water infrastructure maintenance Tuesday, Sept. 15 that could impact water in the Mountjoy and Melrose areas.

Homes and businesses could be without water for a few hours, or there could be coloured water, or lower than normal water pressure.

"Homeowners in that area may experience brown or rust-coloured water during the scheduled water maintenance. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discoloured water," reads the notice.

"While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should this occur, it is advised to turn on the cold water tap closest to the source (usually your laundry tub tap) and let it run for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the water colour has returned to normal."
