Potential Canada Post Mail Delays

On May 23, 2025, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) started an overtime ban affecting the Urban and RSMC groups. This means CUPW members won’t be working extra hours, which could cause some mail and delivery delays. Canada Post is still operating, and you can find more information at CanadaPost.ca/negotiations.

Due to the possibility of a Canada Post strike, which may disrupt mail and package delivery services, the Township of Springwater issued and mailed Final Tax Bills earlier than usual this year. All due dates remain unchanged. Property owners/residents must pay property tax and water/wastewater bills, as well as any fines/infractions by the due date.

To ensure you receive water and tax bills through email sign up for e-billing. 

For utility bill inquiries, please call 705-728-4784 ext. 2301 or email utilities@springwater.ca.

      Clearing discoloured water

      Minerals naturally found in groundwater or from the corrosion of older iron pipes is usually the cause of discoloured water. These minerals can be disturbed during fire hydrant maintenance or when OCWA flushes water mains for Township-operated water systems. To clear it from your water line, run the cold water tap in your home for five minutes. Report persistent issues to the OCWA (Georgian Highlands Regional Hub) at 705-429-2525 Ext. 125.

      Private well

      To be sure your drinking water is safe you should test your well water at least three times per year. Pick up and drop off water sample bottles at a Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit office (except Orillia and 80 Bradford Street in Barrie). Public health inspectors can help interpret your results and provide guidance on any corrective action needed.
