Watermain break results
in boil water advisory

Businesses and apartments in the
downtown block from John to
Goderich Street on the west side of
Main Street will be under a boil
water advisory until the end of the
week.
A major watermain break on
Main Street, which was discovered
by snowplow operators at 5:30 a.m.
Friday when water was coming up
through the road, caused the need
for a shutdown of the watermain.
As well, the road was dug up dur-
ing repairs, closing Main Street
down to one lane of traffic for sever-
al hours.
The shutdown caused negative
water pressure in the system, creat-
ing an automatic boil water adviso-

"We don't shut the main down
normally but since this was the
main feed into town, we had so
much water we had to shut it
down," says Huron East Public
Works Coordinator John Forrest.
In effect for five working days
since last Friday, the boil water
advisory means affected buildings
need to bring water to a rolling boil
for one minute before using it to
drink, gargle, brush teeth, wash
food, make ice, juice, pudding or
baby food/formula.
Washing, bathing, showering,
laundering, dishwashing can all be
carried out as usual.
Forrest said he feels badly about
the three restaurants in the block
who need to continue to do business
with the boil water advisory in
effect.
"It's a hardship for them. It's not
a major thing but it is an inconve-
nience," he said.
