Avian Influenza - Please Don't Feed the Waterfowl

Posted on Friday, May 20, 2022 10:49 AM

As a result of the highly contagious Avian Influenza (H5N1) affecting wild and domestic birds across Canada and around the world, the City of Stratford is urging residents and visitors not to feed local waterfowl, including geese, ducks and swans.

The City of Stratford has begun its spring hydrant flushing.

Hydrant flushing 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.
