Strathcona Water Connection

The City of Port Alberni will be conducting work on the waterline near the intersection of Strathcona Street and McBride Street on Thursday, March 30, 2017 starting at 8:30 am. 

The work is being undertaken to provide a new water connection to an adjacent development.  Water supply in the area will be shut down for up to 8 hours and residents in the 5500 – 5700 block of Strathcona, 3900 block of McBride and the 3900 block of Dunsmuir will have no water until the connection is restored.

Once water is turned back on, the water supply may be discoloured due to disturbed deposits in pipes – it is not harmful as the water has been disinfected. Air may also be present in the pipes. Running a cold water faucet for several minutes will typically eliminate both air and discoloured water problems.

The City apologizes for any inconvenience. For more information, please call 250-720-2840.
