Shannon Well restart confirmed for Friday

NEWS RELEASE

SAULT STE. MARIE PUC

*************************
SAULT STE. MARIE, ON - (16 February 2017) - PUC is pleased to report that the repairs to the Shannon Well have been completed, and it is ready to be returned to service. The restart procedure is scheduled to commence tomorrow morning (Feb 17).

Customers are reminded that during the restart process, there is a chance some customers in the area may experience a change in water quality.

This is because anytime there is a significant shift in the rate or direction of water flow in the distribution system, sediment in the watermains can be disturbed and carried along with the water.

Customers are asked to contact PUC Customer Care should they experience discoloured water or any unusual change in water quality.

We regret any inconvenience this postponement may have caused, and wish to thank everyone for their understanding and cooperation.
