The annual fall water maintenance program is set to go in Espanola.
Public Works Espanola will begin swabbing the water mains on Monday evening starting at 9:00 pm and overnight until 5:00 am.
Residents are strongly encouraged to close off their main water valve in the homes overnight and to attempt to avoid the use of any water during those hours.
This is to avoid any swabbing materials getting into localized lines and causing blockages.
Once morning arrives, residents are then asked to run their cold water lines until the water clears if there is any discolouration.
The program is expected to take up to four nights to complete.
