Dallas Road Area - Water Main Shut Down
Posted: Friday, May 3, 2019 - 9:00am
While doing repairs to a leaking curb stop on Dallas Road, the Utility has had to shut down the main that supplies Dallas Road. This will affect approximately 50 homes in the area and means that the homes will be either without water or have very little pressure. Crews are working on it today and expect it to be back up within 4 hours if no other issues arise.

Turning Your Water Service On and Off
You may need to shut off your property’s water supply to find the source of a water leak or to do construction or renovation work that affects plumbing systems. There is often a valve near the water meter you can use to control water flow inside your property but if you need to turn off the supply before that point you will need to contact the municipal public works office to have an Operator locate and turn off your service. Only property owners can request a service call, unless it's an emergency. When the Operator arrives, make sure that someone who can approve the service call fee is on site.
Water Service Call Out Fees
Fees are based on the scheduled time of the service call. Details on these fees can be found in Bylaw No. 2768, 2018.
