Release — Westgrove Bay water flushing is now complete
The City of Steinbach Waterworks Department would like to inform residents that water distribution flushing operations at a development on West Grove Bay are now complete. Testing results have shown that the quality of the City’s water supply to the surrounding area is now back to normal.
Despite the completion of these operations, there may be properties located along the following streets that could see discolouration of their water supply for the next 24 hours.
- Westgrove Bay
- Ellice Avenue
- Westview Drive
- Westview Place
- Giesbrecht Street
- First Street
- Donald Ave West
- Westdale Street, and
- Cloverdale Street.
If you are still noticing discolouration at your property, please run the cold water tap for 10 to 15 minutes to help improve water clarity. If the discolouration persists after running the tap, please contact the Waterworks department by filling out the form on our website (www.steinbach.ca/directory) or by email to mheppner@steinbach.ca.
As a precaution, the Office of Drinking Water and Manitoba Health Seniors and Active Living advise not to drink discoloured water or use it for purposes such as preparing food, beverages or infant formula. If the water is clear, it can be used as normal.
The Waterworks Department would like to thank Steinbach residents for their understanding and patience as this local development work was completed. Residents are also encouraged to sign up for Steinbach Alert Now at SteinbachAlertNow.ca to stay informed in the event of future emergencies and water supply disturbances.
