Update as of Friday, Oct. 20 at 7:45 a.m.
Additional emergency repairs and replacement are underway today in the Vector, Gregory, Boucherie and Mission View area. Aging infrastructure appears to have been leading to these recent leaks and crews are looking to identify and replace weak spots in the main.
The City thanks residents for their patience during this complex time and requests that motorists follow directions from traffic controllers to allow for a safe work zone.
Residents with little to no water are encouraged to use the bulk filling station at Shannon Lake and Asquith Roads - please bring clean bottles for filling. Updates to follow later today.

When service returns, turn on cold taps in your home until the water runs clear.
