Kilbride Currently Without Water

The pump which supplies water to the Kilbride area of St. John’s has failed and residents in this area will experience no water pressure, as the City of St. John’s continues to work on repairs to the Bay Bulls Big Pond Water Treatment Plant which ceased operations this afternoon after a fire in an electrical room. Residents of Kilbride are reminded that if they experience discoloured water to please not run their tap as water rationing is still in place throughout St. John’s.
 
Electrical contractors are currently on site working to restore power to the facility as soon as possible.
 
It is critical at this point that residents throughout the City who still have water continue to ration water and only use it in emergency situations. Discretionary uses of water, such as dishes, laundry, bathing are prohibited at this time so that we can extend the life of our reservoirs.
 
Water rationing applies to residents of the City of St. John’s, City of Mount Pearl, Town of Conception Bay South, Town of Paradise and Town of Portugal Cove-St. Philips. In the City of St. John’s rationing applies to ALL residents regardless of which water supply you may connect to.
 
The Regional Water Committee would like to thank residents in advance for their cooperation.
 
Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
