A water main break in this area has resulted in a loss of water pressure for some customers. The RDNO is issuing a precautionary WQA to the affected area while sampling and testing of the water main occurs to ensure the continued safety of the water system.
This WQA can be considered rescinded on October 22, 2026 at 8:00am without further notice from the RDNO.
What should affected customers do?
Properties in the area may experience reduced water pressure, discolouration of the water, and/or air. Please run a cold water tap until the water has cleared. An outside tap is preferred, but bathtubs may be used if outside taps are unavailable during the cooler months.
The level of treatment provided by the RDNO has been maintained; however, customers in the affected area may wish to boil their water for at least one minute when preparing food, drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice or when their brushing teeth.
