Water Main UPDATE Tuesday, January 13, 12:00 pm

Please read below for important information updates:

A boil water advisory is still in place for the City of Dawson public drinking water system.

A boil water order is still in place for restaurants, daycares, community centres, hospital, and schools.

Residents of Dawson are not required to conserve water at this time.

There are still a significant number of buildings affected by frozen water and sewage lines. Crews are still working as quickly as possible to restore water to all those affected.

If your pipes are successfully thawed, it is crucial to keep your bleeder on, or leave a tap running with hot water to avoid re-freezing.

Please:

• Monitor your water closely.

• Keep an eye on your sinks, toilet, shower and mechanical room for sewer backup, if you see any issue call (867)993-3880 immediately. If this happens in the middle of the night, stop putting anything down your drains, and turn off your bleeder.
