Planned Watermain Shutdown – Sunrise Avenue

Timeline: Monday, February 16, 2026 from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Please be advised that the areas of 28 to 48 Sunrise Avenue and 53 Third Street will experience a water service interruption on Monday, February 16, 2026 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM due to a watermain repair. Residents are asked to avoid parking on the street during this time.

Once service is restored, water may appear discoloured or contain air. To clear this, run cold water from a fixture without an aerator—such as a laundry tub or bathtub—until it runs clear. Residents should avoid doing laundry during the shutdown to prevent potential staining from discoloured water.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call 709.748.1000.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
