The specific streets impacted include Croatia Ave. from Ponderossa St. to Delost St., Claimpost Trail, Brundy Ave., Ennis St., Miners Ave., Delost Ave., and Prospector’s St. The disruption is scheduled to occur from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Residents and businesses in the affected area may experience issues such as no water, low pressure, or discoloured water. It is advised not to drink or wash laundry with discoloured water, as it can stain fabrics.
