Temporary Disruption to Water Service in Gilford
UPDATE - Repairs are taking longer than anticipated. Crews are onsite and estimating repairs will be complete by 7:00pm. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
Please be advised that there will be an interruption to the water service in Gilford on Tuesday, February 7, 2023 between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm while our operations staff conduct necessary watermain repair work. To ensure the safety of our workers, water pressure will need to be lowered. These repairs are necessary to avoid the instance of a possible failure in the water line.
IMPORTANT: During this time there will be reduced pressure in the system to allow enough water for small tasks (for example toilet flushing). It is imperative that water is not used in excess as it will strain the system and could cause complete failure to all residents. You may want to fill containers ahead of time to have extra water on hand during this time.
When full water service is restored, you may experience air in plumbing or discoloration in water. We would recommend that you refrain from water consumption activities until discolouration is gone (for example doing laundry). We recommend that you run your cold water taps for a few minutes to flush out any sediment which may have accumulated within your water service line and any air trapped in the line.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
