The city will be continuing repairs to a watermain break on MR 80 (a.k.a Highway 69 North) at Dominion Drive tomorrow (July 1) from noon until the work is complete. 

About 40 homes are without water after a watermain break that happened Tuesday.

The southbound lane will be reduced to one lane from Dominion Drive to Dutrisac Boulevard. 

The city is asking residents in Capreol, Valley East, Azilda and Chelmsford to limit water consumption to essential needs only — meaning no lawn watering, washing vehicles nor washing driveways. 

For residents affected by the water outage, Howard Armstrong Centre will be open July 2 between 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. for showers, washroom access and to fill water jugs.
 
The Howard Armstrong splash pad will also be closed on Friday, July 1 until watermain repairs are complete.

Residents who notice discoloured water once the repair is fixed are asked to run the cold water tap closest to their water meter for several minutes until water is clear of any sediment from water pipes. In the event of prolonged discoloration or low water pressure, residents are asked to call 3-1-1.

The City will advise residents as information becomes available and we thank you for your continued patience.
