The Water and Wastewater Department will be working to conduct emergency watermain repairs on Downes Avenue between Walton Street and Short Street in Picton.
- Repairs will begin on Wednesday, June 11, at approximately 8 am, with an expected completion time of 5 pm.
- Downes Avenue will be reduced to one lane of traffic. Traffic control will be in place. Motorists are advised to use alternate routes.
- Heavy equipment will limit visibility in the area and noise levels will be elevated for the duration of the repair.
- These repairs are not expected to impact water quality; however, residents in the construction area may experience pressure fluctuations and/or coloured water while construction is taking place. The water remains safe to drink throughout the duration of construction.
- If coloured water is experienced, customers are encouraged to flush their water lines at the cold water tap nearest to the water meter once work is complete.
