When is it an emergency?
We have seen a significant number of calls to this number to report things such as frozen water lines or water breaks. Many of these calls are made late in the evening or the middle of the night. Our staff answers this phone as there may be an emergency that needs immediate attention.
- Water breaks – are there barricades or pilons around it? If yes, we know about it.
- Water line frozen? Please call in the morning. Staff will not be dispatched outside of regular hours to thaw frozen water lines.
- Emergency? Can it wait until the office is open? If it can wait, please do so and call the office in the morning when staff are available to take the relevant information and help address your concerns.

Those individuals on a sodium restricted diet are encouraged to seek an alternate approved source of drinking water.
