NEWS RELEASE
CITY OF KITCHENER
*************************
A water outage is in effect in the area of Country Hill Drive, Martinglen Crescent and Primrose Path on Tuesday, August 11 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. for water valve replacement. Those affected will be notified by a door knock or paper notice from Navicon.

When water service is returned, residents may notice discoloured or milky water. The discolouration is from iron and manganese that are naturally occurring in the groundwater. To eliminate the discoloured water you can turn on a cold water tap nearest your water meter and let it flush slowly for several minutes until it runs clear. If your water is milky, it has air in it. You can turn on a cold water tap at the highest point in your home and again let it run slowly for a few minutes until the air is gone.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
