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.

Owners of swimming pools installed before November 1st, 2010, who previously benefited from an exemption, now have until fall 2026 to bring their installations up to standards. All others must already comply with the rules enacted by the Provincial Regulation.
For more information about residential pool compliance, click here.
Swimming pools and spas
BEFORE installing a swimming pool or a spa, you must plan ahead!
Installing a pool or a spa (over 2,000 litres) on your property requires the city’s prior approval by means of a construction permit in the case of an in-ground pool, or a certificate of authorization for an above-ground pool or a spa. Either document is available at the Town Hall for a fee of $150.
A $1000 deposit for completion and compliance of works is also required when applying for a permit. This deposit will be reimbursed once the work is complete, and following an inspection of your installations by a city employee confirming they are compliant with municipal and provincial regulations.
The permit application must be submitted with a copy of the property’s certificate of location as well as a detailed layout plan of the pool and other related treatments or structures (to scale and of professionnal quality). To obtain the form, simply use the Online Permit Management portal to submit your request for a permit. All required documents to be attached must be scanned as photos of the documents will not be accepted.
It is the responsibility of the pool or spa owner to ensure the installation is fully compliant with all applicable rules and regulations. To make the right choice as to the type of pool to buy and where to install it, it is important to be aware of the applicable regulations. In Kirkland, these rules are set out in Article 5.7 of Zoning By-Law No. 90-58.
Amongst other requirements, there are minimum distances that need to be respected for the location of a pool and its ancillary deck, as well as municipal and provincial safety requirements.
The Provincial Residential Swimming Pool Safety Regulation and Article 5.7 of Zoning By-Law No. 90-58 imposes safety standards for installing pools and spas. In particular, all fences preventing access to the pool must be fitted with a gate equipped with automatic self-closing and self-locking devices and the filter system must be positioned in such a way as not to provide access to the water. The device must be locked or padlocked when the pool is not under the direct supervision of an adult.
The ground where you plan to dig can hide electrical cables, telecommunication networks, gas lines and other underground utilities. To ensure your family‘s safety and the safety of others, it is crucial to know whether there are any buried installations near the site where you are planning to excavate.
It is very important to locate all underground facilities on your property BEFORE you start digging. Info-Excavation offers free subterranean infrastructure location services and can also give you advice. Queries can be made online at info-ex.com.
Watch out for power lines
You must also ensure compliance with your property’s power line clearances. For this, Hydro-Québec provides an interactive online application that allows you to verify whether your installation complies with the standards.
ONCE your swimming pool or spa is installed, INACCESSIBILITY, SUPERVISION AND VIGILANCE are the new watchwords!
Prevention is of utmost importance
Controlling access to a residential pool is the key to drowning prevention. As soon as the pool is filled with water, «Inaccessibility, Supervision and Vigilance» must become standard practice around the pool. In this respect, it is imperative to apply the Lifesaving Society’s proposed safety tips.
The Lifesaving Society also provides home Drowning Prevention Training Programs.
Noting the seriousness of the consequences of accidents related to the practice of using a diving board with a residential pool, the Bureau de la normalisation du Québec published in May 2009 the BNQ 9461-100 standard that applies to in-ground pools equipped with a diving board. This province-wide standard establishes the minimum dimensions that a pool must meet for the practice of safe diving.
Questions?
The Kirkland Urban Planning Department can provide information on the provincial Residential Swimming Pool Regulation and advise you on how to ensure your pool installation fully and safely complies with all applicable rules and regulations.
The Department can be reached during regular business hours at the Town Hall’s Urban Planning counter, by calling 514 694-4100 or by email at pool@ville.kirkland.qc.ca.
