Water pressure issues?
10/12/2015 at 10:47 AM

Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with water pressure in the west end this morning? We are barely able to get a trickle out of the tap. We are far west end of Centennial Blvd.

We've been calling public works as an FYI, but the line is busy. Maybe several folks calling from Riverheights area.

Saw 2 guys around 9 am at the intersection of Fotheringham & Centennial working on water valves. As for @ Rosser and Fotheringham nothing as of an hour ago.

Holiday

I think you will have to wait till tomorrow it is a holiday, and since there is still water coming out of the tap it is not an emergency

On Call?
10/12/2015 at 8:56 PM

I understand its thanksgiving but for the amount of water coming out of the ground on Fotheringham I find it ridiculous that the city does have a crew on call.

Maybe they will start working on it after midnight when everyone is in bed. Since they will have to totally shut the water off it will affect Riverheights school if they don't do it tonite.

They still

would need to get clearances from utilities before they dig. Doubt Hydro, MTS, and Westman would have people to do them on a holiday.

The water will just go into the storm sewers and back into the river.

all utilities (hydro/mts anyway) have people on call, yes it sucks for those who work it but things need looked after even on thanksgiving, does the city not have people on call for a water main break? most do i thought

water pressure issues

HI

I called in a water leak on Fotheringham on monday morning as the intersection of rosser and fotheringham was flooding and there was water coming through the concrete at a hdriveway on fotheringham.

City work crews were digging up the driveway this morning to fix the water main leak.
