Description:

Utilities Kingston makes every effort to reduce disruption to its customers. The straightforward nature of the work allows for this outage to be conducted overnight.

The outage is needed to install a district water meter on a Woodbine Road water main that supplies the Westbrook area. This new technology is being investigated to help identify water leaks in the system, and help improve operating efficiency and water conservation.

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.
