Hydrant flushing will continue in Stratford over the next few weeks.

This is something that the City does twice a year, typically in the spring and the fall, to remove iron that may have settled in the watermains, and as preventative maintenance on fire hydrants.

For Tuesday, May 18, crews are expected to be working in the evening, to minimize disruption to the downtown core, in the areas of:

• Delamere Avenue
• Haig Street
• Neal Avenue
• William Street

April 26, 2021 - The City of Stratford and the Stratford Police Service would like to thank citizens for their efforts this past weekend, and over the last year, to keep our community safe in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Citizens have worked extremely hard and have made significant sacrifices over the past year to limit that risk, and we ask that you continue to be vigilant.

We understand from organizers that the planned public gathering is to include a march...

Services available through City Hall and other administrative offices will continue to be provided on-line, by telephone, and by appointment where possible during business hours (Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays).

There are no changes...
