Possible colored water and drop in water pressure in the Timberlea sector - Week of July 13 to 17
Water system pressure testing will be conducted throughout the Timberlea sector from July 13 to July 17, 2026, between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Possible colored water and drop in water pressure in the Timberlea sector - Week of July 13 to 17
Please note that water system pressure testing will be conducted throughout the Timberlea sector from July 13 to July 17, 2026, between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
These tests are intended to pinpoint the exact source of potential irregularities observed in the water distribution system during the flushing operations carried out in spring 2026.
Because valve operations will take place at various locations and at different times throughout the week, it is not possible to identify in advance which streets may be affected or when.
As a precaution, all residents within the Timberlea sector are therefore asked to follow these recommendations each day between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.:
Limit water use to normal household needs;
Avoid activities requiring significant or continuous water consumption, including laundry, outdoor watering, and filling swimming pools or spas.
These activities may be carried out after 3:00 p.m. and before 8:00 a.m. the following morning.
Temporary pressure fluctuations and discoloured water may occur during the testing period. If this happens, run cold water from a tap for a few minutes, or until the water becomes clear.
If testing needs to continue beyond July 17, operations will resume on Monday, July 20. Any extension will be announced in the Alerts section of the Town’s website.
For additional information, please contact Public Works at 514-630-2727.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Given the importance of protecting young children from drowning, the Quebec government adopted in 2010 the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Regulation aimed at controlling young children's access to residential pools. However, since July 1, 2021, this regulation, which at the time applied only to new swimming pools, has been amended to apply to all swimming pools in Québec, regardless of their installation year.
Thus, owners of swimming pools installed before November 1st, 2010, who previously benefited from an exemption, now have until SEPTEMBER 30, 2027, to bring their installations up to standards. All others must already comply with the rules enacted by the Provincial Regulation.
Check your pool's compliance
Before undertaking any improvement work on your pool installations, or upgrades to comply with standards, you must first assess whether these meet the applicable regulations.
To ensure safe access to your pool, several options are available, each with specific requirements that must be followed.
Whether it involves installing a fence, setting up a secured enclosure, or adapting a patio door, it is important to fully understand the applicable regulations. To learn more about all requirements and key considerations (fences, gates, window restrictors, surrounding layouts, maintenance, etc.):
The Town of Kirkland does not recommend any specific installation type. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to choose the option that best suits their needs.
To complete your self-assessment, please select the form that corresponds to your pool type and situation. This step will help you identify any necessary changes you might need to make to your pool installation.
Self-assessment forms
The Self-assessment sheets for all types of swimming pool installations have been produced by the Quebec Government.

Q1: My pool was built before November 1, 2010. Is it still compliant with provincial regulations?

The work must be completed by September 30, 2027, at the latest.
