Watermain Flushing - Petty Harbour Long Pond Transmission Main

Flushing of the Petty Harbour Long Pond water transmission main will occur overnight from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. beginning:

• Tuesday, May 31, 2022
• Wednesday, June 1, 2022

This work is conducted overnight to reduce the inconvenience to residents.

Between May and October of each year the City of St. John’s conducts water main flushing to clean water mains and bring the highest quality drinking water to residents.

Discolouration or fluctuations in water pressure can occur during maintenance due to the intensity of the water flushing through the system. If discolouration occurs, run a cold water tap until the water clears.

More information about water main and hydrant flushing is available on the City website. A video about water main flushing is available on the City’s YouTube page.

Should discoloured water persist during the day, please contact Access St. John’s at 311 or 754- CITY (2489) or online.
