The City of Moose Jaw is making available a water trailer containing potable water for residents currently without H2O after water main breaks disrupted service.
The breaks occurred around Feb. 16 and affected the 200 block of Home Street West and the 1000 block of Fifth Avenue Northwest.
The break on South Hill was detected sometime that morning, so city crews went to homes in the area — between Second and Fourth Avenues Southwest — telling residents that city hall would shut off their water until the problem was fixed. Meanwhile, other crews worked to investigate the cause and location of the broken pipe.
The water trailer is parked at 325 Home Street West for residents affected by water main breaks in both locations, city hall says. During this interruption, the City of Moose Jaw is also offering affected residents free access to showers at either the Kinsmen Sportsplex or Yara Centre.
Residents can access showers and washrooms by showing proof of residence within the affected areas.
“The City of Moose Jaw thanks you for your patience and apologizes for any inconvenience,” city hall added.
