Full water service across Pembroke and Laurentian Valley is expected Saturday, following repairs on the major watermain break from late November.
Extra repair work was needed when the condition of the pipe in the break area was inspected, which added a couple days to the project timeline.
Today, the hole at the break area will be filled in and the City will fill the line with water.
The City will also take water tests to meet Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks regulations with results expected back Friday.
On Saturday, the City will open all the valves and disconnect the temporary service at Miramichi Lodge and put the home back on full service.
As of Saturday evening, we expect all system users to be back on full, normal operations.
We continue to remind people to reduce water consumption wherever and whenever possible over the last few days of the repair project. This is important to ensure stable water supply for all system users, and to secure water availability for firefighting and for those vulnerable users, including the Pembroke Regional Hospital and seniors’ homes.
We understand people need to go about their daily lives. Reduced consumption can look like combining clothes to run fewer loads of laundry, having a quick shower over a bath, or avoiding non-essential activities such as washing your car.
The City of Pembroke thanks all system users for the efforts they’ve made to reduce consumption since the watermain break happened.
The water is safe to consume, and during this repair period, people may notice a reduction in water pressure or volume.
Future updates will be posted on the City’s website pembroke.ca and our Facebook and Instagram platforms.
