- Painting of fire hydrants according to the Ontario Fire Code subsection 6.6.6.
- Submission of report for the inspection and testing, including the flow rate, after completion of fire hydrant inspection and test. We will also submit an estimate for any deficiency or repairs required.
- All secondary valves (Hydrant Control Valves) will be included with the inspection.
- Non-operational fire-hydrants placed out of order and marked as such by use of a canvas bag locked to the hydrant stating “Hydrant out of Service”.

Client Testimonials
Daniel AP2023-12-01Ernie and his crew are outstanding professionals! They replaced my sewer and lead water line within budget. They go above and beyond to ensure the job is done right. Do not go anywhere else for your repairs, you have the best people for the job here! Thanks again Ernie!
Dave Evans2023-11-16Superior water solutions changed my service line to remove our lead pipes and bring our plumbing up to code. They had great service and were easy to contact. We had some delays due other work being done on my street and some snowy weather but they communicated well and eventually got it done in approximately three hours once they got started. Pretty impressive when they had to dig ~8 ft down in my front yard to get to the pipes.
Betty Franceschetti2023-10-18Great customer service, the best in quality, value, as well as spontaneous, I recommend this company as one of the best in town. Five star company definately. Thanks guys, a huge thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍 for fixing our water issues. You guys are number 1 in my book. AWSOME!
Happy Land Campground2023-05-30Unlike most uses of the word “superior” in their name, in this case, it’s really not a gimmick - this crew genuinely does have the superior solution to solve any water system issues you may be experiencing. We run a business which involves the operation of a residential drinking water system and we’ve always done our best to handle it entirely on our own, but hiring Ernie and his crew at Superior Water Solutions has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Through this process we’ve learned about entirely new techniques for water system repair that we had no idea existed, and they possess all of the tools, equipment and expertise required to complete them. Just like any other complex task there are always many different methods available, and determining the best method for your particular system or issue can be made a lot easier with their assistance. They have lots of great ideas, but more importantly, they’re also open to hearing your input as to whether or not those ideas will be applicable to your particular situation, and this process doesn’t feel like a debate but instead a discussion with someone who really cares about getting the job done correctly and quickly.
