Water Shut-Down in Westbrook

Water Shut-Down in Westbrook

Customers in the Westbrook area should prepare to be without water from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 6. This shut-down is needed in order to repair a water leak on Woodbine Road (between Collin’s Bay Road and Westbrook Road).

It is taking place on a Saturday to accommodate a public school in the area. Approximately 500 customers will be affected. View a map of the outage area.

There may be minor traffic disruptions in the area, but the road will remain open. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Tips to help with a water outage:

  • When water is restored, you could experience discoloured tap water. The water is still safe and you should run a cold water tap until it clears. This may  take 5-25 minutes. 
  • Pails of water can be used to flush toilets when you pour the water into the tank. Consider 'cottage rules' for flushing.
  • The City of Kingston emergency management plan suggests that each household has at the ready four litres of water, per person, per day  for drinking and bathing.
