The Town of Lincoln’s Public Works department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of Lincoln’s Road network.
Spring 2023 maintenance programs are getting underway in April.
2023 Hydrant Flushing Program
Hydrant flushing is performed annually in the spring for the general maintenance of the water distribution system and covers the Beamsville, Vineland and Jordan serviced areas. This is essential work that maintains our hydrants and ensures good working condition for fire services.
Residents may experience temporary low-water pressure during flushing and/or cloudy or discoloured water conditions after flushing is completed. Running your taps for approximately
10 minutes will typically clear any cloudiness or discolouration.
2023 Street Sweeping Program
Street sweeping is performed twice a year, in Spring and Fall. For the 2023 spring season, street sweeping in urban areas will commence April 24 (approximately).
The Town’s urban areas are divided into eight sections which will take approximately 10 weeks to complete, weather permitting. Rural areas will commence mid-April, weather permitting and will continue until completed.
