Valve Turning-Tottenham Transmission Main

Town of New Tecumseth Council and staff gathered July 14 for a special valve turning ceremony to celebrate the completion of the Tottenham Transmission Main (TTM) project which has been supplying water from Alliston/Beeton to Tottenham since June 1, 2022. 

“It is an absolute pleasure to be here today, to officially turn the valve and celebrate the completion of this very important project that provides our residents of Tottenham with water from Georgian Bay,” said New Tecumseth Mayor Rick Milne. 

The Town’s June 2022 Water Quality Report shows a reduction upwards of 50 per cent in Trihalomethane (THM) levels in Tottenham when compared to the May 2022 Water Quality Report. The current THM Running Annual Average (RAA) has been reduced to 82.7 µg/l and is expected to continue to decrease as the TTM is utilized as the RAA is based on the last four (4) Quarters (July 2021 – June 2022). 

Iron levels in the Tottenham Water System have also decreased by approximately 50 per cent since the TTM has come online. 

The Water Quality Reports are posted monthly.
