Residents in Pembroke and Laurentian Valley are asked to reduce water usage for about the next two weeks due to a major watermain break.
Fewer than 30 properties in Pembroke are without water entirely, and these properties have been notified directly. The City is providing water to these properties.
All water system users are asked to reduce their water consumption wherever and whenever possible during this time, but understand people need to go about their daily lives. The water is safe to consume.
A specialized contractor has been hired and specialized materials have been procured for the repair. It is anticipated it will take two weeks to complete the repair and get the system fully back online due to the nature of the pipe and work needed for the repair.
During this time, people may notice a reduction in water pressure or volume.
An update will be provided early next week.
We thank you for your cooperation.
