There has been a watermain break at the Victoria Ave QEW crossing; between the N. Service Rd and the QEW, on the west side of Victoria Ave.
Update: Repairs to this watermain began the morning of Thursday, December 10 but will be delayed due to unexpected water shortages to some areas. As such, the repair work will resume starting at 5 p.m. on Thursday, and is expected to take approximately six hours to complete.
Loss of service to residents or businesses in the area is not expected; however, there may be reduced pressures at homes in the Dustan, South Shore, Edgewood and Laurie Ave, and Victoria Ave North neighbourhoods as well as possibly a few homes on 21st Street.
Staff have been monitoring the break and made minor modifications to the system to protect the supply. We are also working with Niagara Region to maintain supply to the area.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to complete these important repairs.
