Equipment, site rules and intended use

Can I mix chemicals or drain water on site?
Chemical and pesticide mixing is prohibited. Direct hose or connection drainage to the nearest storm sewer as instructed. Do not overfill tanks or spill water; the City can charge the customer for deicing costs when required.

What must I do before leaving?
Replace the nozzle cap after filling and leave the station in proper condition. Failure to follow the posted rules can lead to suspended use. Stop pumping before the tank overfills rather than relying only on the selected target amount.

Is bulk water approved as a household drinking supply?
The page says the station is intended for commercial applications, not as a potable-water supply, and potable use is at the user's sole risk. For account setup assistance call 519-623-1340. Use the municipal service guidance for the intended application.
