2026-10-30 - Public Notice - Township of Tiny working with Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks to contain potential spill at Farlain Lake - Update.pdf

The Township of Tiny is continuing to work with the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) and the Farlain Lake Association regarding a spill at the north end of Farlain Lake. 

In partnership with the MECP, containment and cleanup activities continue. A source and cause for the spill have still not been identified and the investigation remains ongoing.

The Township will continue to provide support for the MECP to find the root cause and take appropriate action. 

Reminder: 

For any residents that draw their drinking water directly from the lake, as a precaution, it is recommended to refrain from using the water while the investigation remains underway. The Township’s drinking water fill station at 39 Balm Beach Road can provide a free alternative for affected residents during this time. 

The Township will share more information as it becomes available.
