November 16, 2016 - On Sunday, Nov. 20, Central Avenue between Balmoral Street and Alloy Drive will be closed for water main work at Tungsten Street and Central Avenue. The closure is expected between the hours of 8 am - 8 pm.

Traffic will be detoured around the closure via Alloy Drive to Balmoral Street. Motorists are asked to drive with caution.

There will be no loss of water service to residents in the area. However, some residents may notice discoloured water coming from taps during, or for a short time after, the work. Water pressure, taste or clarity may also be affected for a short period.

If residents notice any changes in the water coming from taps, the following steps should be taken:

1. Do not open any hot water taps.
2. Open only one cold water tap (a tap that does not have a water filter system attached to it and is not a combination tap) and allow the water to flow at a medium flow until the water runs clear.
3. Once the single cold water tap is running clear, open all other taps including hot water taps and flush until all water runs clear.

Running the cold water taps for up to five minutes should clear any discoloured water. If tap water does not clear after following the recommended procedure, residents can contact Infrastructure & Operations Dispatch at 625-2195.
