UPGRADE YOUR OIL FURNACE
“Hurry, Limited Funding Available” |

The City of Orillia is announcing an incentive rebate to upgrade old oil furnace heating system for all properties within the 2-year Wellhead Protection Area of the two lakeshore municipal drinking water wells. |
Undetected oil leaks can pose a serious environmental hazard. The City wishes to reduce the risk of an oil leak impacting the water aquifer in the vicinity of these two wells. This “Oil Heating Incentive Program” is a City “Source Water Protection” initiative.
The City will rebate 33% of the cost to a maximum payment of $2,500 to replace your oil tank and piping and upgrade to a new high efficiency furnace using any fuel of your choice. This limited time offer is available only to properties situated with the 2-year Wellhead Protection Area. This encompasses an area bounded approx. by Tecumseth Street, Cedar Street, Lawrence Avenue, and Lake Couchiching (see map or call for details).
The incentive rebate is offered on a “first come, first served” basis effective immediately until the funding is exhausted or December 15, 2009.

Annual Hydrant Inspection
The City of Orillia will be conducting their annual hydrant inspection within the next month. This involves the flushing and testing of 844 hydrants in the City. This preventive maintenance measure is necessary to ensure that the hydrants are safe and functional when needed by the Fire Department. Under normal circumstances, the complete procedure takes no longer than 15 minutes per hydrant and approximately 30 hydrants are done per day. Advance notice to the public concerning exact work scheduling cannot feasibly be provided. During the flushing operation, poor pressure and/or "RED" water may result. This situation is temporary. The discoloured water is not hazardous but, if detected, the public is requested to simply open their cold water taps in order to clear the system. Please call 329-7249 if you have any questions.
