City advises of water supply disruption affecting parts of Elfindale

15 May 2022

The City’s Water and Sanitation Department will be shutting off the water supply to parts of Elfindale on Tuesday, 17 May 2022, from 08:00 until 16:00 to allow the safe completion of construction work on the main water supply to the area.

​

The work involves cutting into the main pipeline to connect the newly installed water mains at Edgemere Road, Rhynheath Way and Sunnybrook Way to the existing water supply network, and residents of the affected areas will experience no water during this period.
 
Careful consideration has been given to the work to ensure the least disruption to our residents.
 
Residents in these areas are kindly requested to store water upfront in clean, sealed containers for domestic consumption during this period and to keep their taps closed to prevent any water loss and/or damage when the supply is restored.
 
A water tanker will be parked at the intersection of Sunnybrook Way and Elfin Avenue for the duration of the work, to provide the affected residents with water for domestic use where required.
 
This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Strategy, aimed at managing water pressure more effectively to reduce the possibility of pipe bursts and water wastage. The City regrets any inconvenience caused, but it is imperative that it maintains and upgrades its water supply infrastructure to benefit its consumers. 
 
Updates on this work will be posted on the City’s @CityofCTAlerts Twitter account.
