Original Notice - July 29, 2024
Water service will be temporarily shut-off on Wednesday July 31, 2024, from approximately 7:00am until 4:00pm to allow crews to complete a sanitary manhole at the intersection 32nd Ave and 38th Street. Please see map below for affected properties.
The actual duration of the shut-down will depend on the conditions encountered.
Once the work has been completed, your water service will be restored. Please note that you may experience reduced water pressure, discolouration of the water, and/or air. Please run a cold water tap until the water has cleared. An outside tap is preferred.
