Water service interruption
Our crews are responding to a water main break on Ontario St., between Gore St. and Lower Union St. The area has been closed to traffic to allow crews to work safely.
Residents in the immediate area are experiencing a temporary water service interruption. For the latest updates, please visit our outage map.
Some nearby areas may notice discoloured tap water, as changes in water flow can stir up sediment in the system. The water remains safe to use. Turn on the cold-water tap closest to your water meter and let it run until the water turns clear.
