Update: Friday, September 22, 2023
Currently both the storage tank levels and flows leaving the water treatment plant are within normal ranges so there is no scheduled decrease for tonight.
UPDATE: Thursday, September 21, 2023
Area Affected: Moose Factory Island
The water pressure is scheduled to be decreased on:
- Today at 9:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M.
The need to decrease the water will be reassessed tomorrow.
The water plant operators have resolved the issue and the plant seems to be running normally. However, because water production was impacted for so long, we will need to decrease tonight to allow the reservoir levels to build up to ensure sufficient water reserves for both the community and firefighting purposes.
Please note that the water quality has not been affected.
We need your support conserving water because it is a crucial part of the strategy to keep this temporary situation as short as possible for the safety of consumers and fire protection. At this time, we ask that you do not wash vehicles; etc.; or allow water to run for long periods of time for any reason.
Date: Wednesday, September 20th, 2023
Area Affected: Moose Factory Island
Because of issues at the plant overnight, the water pressure is scheduled to be decreased on:
- Today at 1:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M.
- Water pressure will be restored to normal between 5:00 P.M and 6:30 P.M.
- Decreased again at 6:30 P.M. to 6:00 A.M.
The need to decrease the water will be reassessed tomorrow.
During normal conditions (i.e.: no leaks, no taps left running, etc.) the water treatment plant runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week to keep the reservoirs full. The plant is running at maximum capacity and rarely shuts down.
Unfortunately, overnight issues developed which cut water production in half. The issue is not yet resolved but staff are working to resolve the problem quickly.
Water conservation is desperately needed today to prevent running out of water completely. We apologize for the short notice and inconvenience the decrease may cause.
Please note that the water quality has not been affected.
