In an unexpected turn of events, a section of the Grand Marais drain in Windsor has taken on a vibrant green hue recently. The striking color is a result of dye introduced into the water system to conduct infrastructure testing, as explained by Enwin. This initiative is part of the Feedermain project by the Windsor Utilities Commission. During the system evaluation, a portion of the new infrastructure failed inspection, prompting the addition of dye to pinpoint the problem area.
The dye utilized is food-grade and safe for consumption, ensuring it meets water safety standards. Enwin has reassured the public that once testing is finalized, the affected watermain will undergo flushing and retesting to confirm its full functionality before being put into operation. The affected watershed is situated near Grand Marais Road East close to Langlois Avenue, where observers have noted ducks swimming in the green-tinted water.
The images captured depict the unusual sight of ducks navigating the bright green water on Monday near Grand Marais Road East and Langlois Avenue in Windsor. This unconventional occurrence is a consequence of the ongoing infrastructure testing procedures, demonstrating the commitment to maintaining the city’s water system integrity.
