The City of Port Colborne will be performing a trial watermain isolation on Thursday, May 20, 2021 beginning at approximately 2 a.m. and ending by 4 a.m.

During this trial isolation, the following properties will not have water:

  • 569 Main Street West
  • 575 Main Street West
  • 599 Main Street West

Additionally, depending upon the results of the trial isolation, the following properties may also be without water:

  • 611 Main Street West
  • 615 Main Street West
  • 629 Main Street West
  • 633 Main Street West
  • 639 Main Street West
  • 650 Main Street West
  • 658 Main Street West
  • 664 Main Street West
  • 676 Main Street West

After water service has been restored, residents may experience some air in their water lines and/or discoloured water.  Please run an exterior cold water tap, or a large indoor cold water tap, such as a utility sink, until the water runs clear. This may take 10-15 minutes and will likely use less than 1m3 (or 1,000 litres) of water. If water does not clear up after flushing for 10-15 minutes, please call the Engineering and Operations Centre at 905-835-5079.

This trial isolation is required in order to schedule a future shut down to move a fire hydrant, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
