PRINCE GEORGE–Repairs have been completed on two water mains on 6th avenue at the intersections of Winnipeg and Victoria ,and water service was fully restored to area residents by early yesterday afternoon. Following excavations at the sites, crews found that the 15cm cast-iron pipes at both locations had fractured. Both mains were installed in 1956. The sites of both operations will be repaved in the spring once the snow and ice have melted.
PRINCE GEORGE–Another 8 centimetre dump of snow has city snow and ice control crews back on the streets clearing priority one and priority two routes today (Thursday). They’ve been at it since early morning,after the extreme cold warning ended. Crews are expected to resume clearing priority three residential routes by this weekend. Meantime, water service has been restored to some 300 Southridge residents after a water main broke Tuesday morning between St. Anne and St. Lawrence. And crews are continuing to work on two water main breaks on 6th Avenue, at the intersections of Winnipeg and Victoria Streets, hoping to have those areas repaired by the end of the day today.
