The outage is needed to install a new water main on Sydenham Road, from Arnold to Mildred. This work is required to support the construction of the new Cataraqui Woods Drive extension. 

The streets affected by this outage include:

  • Sydenham Road from just south of Arnold St., north to Mildred St.
  • Arnold Street

  • Eunice Drive

Tips to help with a water outage:

  • When water is restored, you could experience discoloured tap water or air in the pipes. The water is still safe. In the case of discoloured water, 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 four litres of water, per person, per day at the ready for drinking and bathing.

We apologize for any inconvenience. This work helps to ensure reliable services to you, our customers. For more information, please call the Customer Service Centre at 613-546-0000 or see our outage map.
