Due to a new substantial leak above Smelter, water will be turned off at the main by the Wharf at 1 pm. Anyone East of this point will be without water until the leak is repaired. If you are affected by this outage, we recommend turning off power to your hot water tank and ensuring all faucets are closed. When water is back on, open faucets and run water until flow is smooth and clear.

Our water operators are on the job and estimate that water should be back on by 4 pm.

UPDATE 5.40 pm – the leak location was not found today and work will continue tomorrow. Water is back on but there will be an outage tomorrow.

UPDATE Sun Mar 6 1:00 pm: Leak repair is complete and water back on

Up to 9 residences in this area will have a water outage today, Tues March 1st, as repairs are made to a leak. Apologies for the short notice; this is a situation that was already scheduled for repair but due to sudden worsening, must be dealt with today.

Water shut off will be around noon and continue for approx 3 hours. Please shut off power to your hot water tank and ensure all faucets are closed.

When the water is back on, open faucets fully until the water runs smoothly and any residue is gone.
