Overview
The Town of Georgina operates two public water taps for residential use.
Water Tap Locations:
- The first water tap is located on Black River Road, 100m east of Park Road.
- A second water tap is located at the Sutton Arena (48 Hawkins St., Sutton), just south of the main doors.
Residential public water taps are intended for small-volume users and are not outfitted for large-volume dispensing. This tap location monitored by staff and security cameras.
History
The Town of Georgina closed three of its four public water taps the week of Oct. 18, 2021. The taps were closed due to concerns related to potential backflow and contamination from commercial users who are not permitted to use the taps. Both residents and staff have reported concerns. The taps were unmetered and uncontrolled, and there was potential for contamination of the system through backflow of non-potable water, a public safety concern. See the documents below outlining the various reports to local Council.
Keys
Keys are no longer required for the public water tap.
Clients who previously left a deposit and who wish to return their key can do so with Service Georgina at the Civic Centre from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.
