Crews tend to 3rd Ave water main break

PRINCE GEORGE — Update: Tonight, the City of Prince George confirmed the water is now turned off at the site of today’s water main break at 3rd Avenue and Winnipeg Street.

Spokesperson Mike Kellett says this will give crews the chance to repair the water main, which was installed in 1956 and is made of cast iron.

He adds crews will be working through the night though it’s expected that water service in the area will be disrupted until tomorrow morning.

Kellett says the closure of 3rd Avenue between Prince Rupert Street and Winnipeg Street is expected to last until tomorrow night.
