By Rosalind Russell – As part of the Hillside Project water main repairs in Elliot Lake, water will be shut off in the Spruce, Beech and Birch streets areas this morning.
The city will be carrying out valve replacement and water will be restored when done.
When the water service is restored, the city advises users to open each cold tap, one at a time and let them run for about 20 seconds each, which should release any air trapped in water lines.
If the water is cloudy or contains grit, continue to run the cold water taps until the water runs clear. Please refrain from using any appliances or hot water until the cold water runs clear to avoid damaging the hot water tank.
Occupants may experience reduced water pressure for a temporary period once the water supply has been restored.
Should users have any questions or concerns, call (705) 848-2287 ext. 2600.
