Residents Advised of Potential for Low Water Pressure June 7

Jun 6, 2016

Residents of Coniston, Wahnapitae, Markstay and Sudbury, including New Sudbury, may notice low water pressure during the morning and afternoon of Tuesday, June 7 while the water main feed from the Wanapitei Water Treatment Plant is temporarily shut down.

Residents will continue to draw municipal water from the Ellis Reservoir. To compensate for limited water supply, residents are asked to reduce water consumption whenever possible.

Residents who notice discoloured water once water pressure is restored are asked to run the cold water tap closest to their water meter for several minutes until water is clear of any sediment from water pipes. In the event of prolonged discoloration or low water pressure, residents are asked to call 3-1-1.

The City of Greater Sudbury thanks residents for their patience and cooperation during these essential capital improvements to the Wanapitei Water Treatment Plant.
