Buchanan Road Water Line Break

"It was ugly (to fix)," sighed a Coldstream utility worker today, adding "We were done at 1 in the morning!"

Residents were notified via door-to-door late Tuesday afternoon, January 29th, of a broken line on our road.

We shut off the residence's incoming water, while crews worked on the repair as darkness fell.

They had to flush the line to drain water before the repair could even start.
Must've been a nasty job in the dark.

This morning, ditches all along the road showed the scope of draining work.

Repair finished

Everyone's likely grateful that temperatures were only -4C during the water line break.

"Bet you weren't complaining about the price of water during the outage," Kia would've said.

Nope!
Especially when we--in a brainfuzz moment--turned the dishwasher on during the outage!

Never take water for granted!
