Residents in the area of Oliver Road west of Highway 11/17, may experience low water pressure as work is completed on sanitary and water facilities at Burwood Drive and Oliver Road. 

The work is anticipated to continue for the next two weeks.

Once the work is completed and pressure fully restored, residents in the area may notice discolouration of the water from their taps. If there is discolouration, residents are advised to complete the following steps:

  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 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 cold water taps for five minutes should clear any discoloured water. If discolouration returns, please repeat steps 1-3.

If residents in the area have any questions or concerns, or experience any water quality issues, they are asked to contact Infrastructure & Operations Dispatch at 807-625-2195.
