THUNDER BAY -- A crew with the city is doing an emergency repair on a leak at a north-side trunk water main, which may cause discoloured water for some Thunder Bay residents.
City officials believe it will be fixed by the end of the week.
Residents should not expect disruptions to their water supply, but the work may cause discoloured water at times, a City of Thunder Bay news release said.
Water pressure, taste or clarity could also be affected for short periods.
If you notice changes to your water, please follow these steps:
1. Do not open any hot water taps
2. Open only one cold water tap (a tap that does not have a water filter system on it) and allow the water to come out at a medium flow until it runs clear
3. Once the single cold water tap is running clear, open all other taps including hot water and flush until all water runs clear
Running your cold water taps for five minutes will usually clear any discoloured water. If discoloration returns, please repeat the steps above again.
If water discoloration is experienced after the repair work has been completed, contact dispatch at (807) 625-2195.
