City of Kamloops has to repair water main break for the second time in two days

Water main breaks again

The Highland Drive water main in Kamloops needs another repair after breaking for a second time today. 

The initial break occurred yesterday morning, and crews say it won't be fixed until late Saturday afternoon (Dec. 5). 

"We understand limiting water usage on the weekend is more challenging," says Greg Wightman, the city's utility services manager, in a news release. "We're asking residents to do what they can to ensure we can maintain sufficient water supply and fire suppression."

Juniper Ridge has been able to keep its water supply, but the crew is asking residents to limit their water use where possible.

Avoiding long showers, running the dishwasher and laundry machine throughout the weekend is advised.  

Expect traffic delays throughout the weekend, and be prepared to reduce speed near the work zone.
