Water Outage Smelter & Blewett

Due to a major leak in the water main on Smelter, water has been turned off at the main by the Wharf. Anyone East of this point will be without water until the main 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.

Our water operators are on the job and we will keep you updated. An estimated time for the outage will be provided when we have more information on the cause of the leak and the repairs needed.

UPDATE: the repair was completed by 3.30 pm, thanks to the speedy response of our crew including contractor Al Davis. We suspect this had been an ongoing substantial leak and hope to see a reduction of pump hours now its fixed.
