Homes on Roads 9 and 10 can expect to be without water for two days this week.
Flood mitigation works are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday to allow the Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure to lower water mains to install a large box culvert at Road 9.
Both domestic and irrigation water will be shut off for water users.
Domestic water will be shut off on Wednesday, September 26, on Highway 97 from Road 7 to 10, and Road 9 and 10 from 7:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Irrigation water will be shut off on Thursday, September 27, for System 6 Only (Road 5 to Road 15) from 7:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
There is potential that surrounding areas may be affected as well.
After water service is restored, air or discoloured water may be present in the piping. Running a garden hose or cold water bathtub faucet for several minutes, should eliminate both air and discoloured water problems.
If you have a specialized water filtration unit within your premise, it may need to be isolated to prevent any blockage which could result from this water outage.
