Water service disruption in Glace Bay

Update: August 25, 8:00 am

GLACE BAY WATER SUPPLY NOTICE: All tank levels have been restored to safe operating levels. Enhanced water conservation measures are no longer required by water customers.
 
Update 11:55 pm
Thank you to the community for conserving water as requested. Staff worked diligently today with multiple water main breaks in the Glace Bay and Area water system. A larger break was completed earlier this evening while crews are in final stages of repairing second leak area. Tanks and pressure are nearing normal levels, but users may still have some discolouration at first until the system flushes through.
 
 
Update: 7:45 pm
Public Works crews have located the break and repairs are underway. The request to conserve water continues for Glace Bay, Dominion, Reserve Mines, Birch Grove, Port Morien, Donkin and Tower Road. It is anticipated that it will be several more hours before pressure is restored and residents are asked NOT to run water until Public Works advises.
 

Update: 11:45 am
Water conservation is requested in the following areas served by the Glace Bay water supply system: Glace Bay, Dominion, Reserve Mines, Birch Grove, Port Morien, Donkin and Tower Road. Please do not use water unless necessary.

GLACE BAY - August 24, 9:20 am

There is a significant water service disruption in Glace Bay resulting in low pressures and possibly discoloured water in some areas. Public Works are presently searching for the leak's location. Water customers are asked to conserve water today while the repairs are conducted.
