Thank you for patience and cooperation during this process.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF WEST AND NORTH BATHURST
The City of Bathurst informs residents of West Bathurst of a sudden pressure drop in the water distribution system serving the West and North sections of the City. This was caused by a mechanical failure with components of our pumping system. Crews are presently working on the issue.
Water pressure has been stabilized. However, residents may see turbidity in the water. It is advised to refrain from washing laundry and to periodically check your water quality by running COLD WATER for 10-15 minutes to verify if the water has cleared up.
Because of the sudden drop in water pressure, a BOIL ORDER ADVISORY will be in effect until further notice and water destined for consumption will need to be held at a rolling boil for 1 minute.
IMPACTED AREAS
- St. Peter Avenue, west of Veterans Bridge
- College Street, University Avenue area
- Ste Anne Street area
- All areas west and north of Ste Anne Street
The City of Bathurst regrets any inconvenience this may cause.
