  Description

  The City of Niagara Falls fire hydrant flushing program begin on August, 29 2025, and will continue on into the fall of 2025. This is performed as part of a scheduled preventative maintenance program to help maintain good water quality and to improve water flow in your neighborhood.

The City’s Annual Water Report can be viewed online at www.niagarafalls.ca or in person at the Municipal Service Centre at 3200 Stanley Avenue.
