Water Service update: Operations and Water Treatment Staff have identified and isolated the water main break disrupting service to portions of the west end of the city.
Water pressure should now begin to return to normal. However, due to the significance of the water break a Boil Water Advisory has been issued for a portion of the city: South of the Assiniboine River, and west of 18th Street, reaching to our city limits.
Until further notice, all water used for consumption in the affected area should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before it is used for:
• Drinking and ice making
• Preparing beverages, such as infant formula
• Preparing food, including washing fruits and vegetables
• Brushing teeth
The Boil Water Advisory will remain in effect until the water supplied by this water system no longer presents a risk to public health.
Due to the advisory – the city has also closed both the Valleyview and Westridge Spray Parks. The Westridge paddle pool can remain open because its water is treated.
