March 31, 2026 7:50 AMWe are aware of reports of discoloured tap water in some areas of the community.
The discolouration is related to an unexpected pressure spike in the water system, as well as current water valve exercises being carried out on the District’s water infrastructure. These activities can disturb sediment within the water mains, which may temporarily affect the appearance of the water. This does not pose a health risk.
If you are experiencing discoloured water, please run your cold water taps for a few minutes until the water runs clear.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
