*************************************
City of Elliot Lake CAO Rob deBortoli would like to report that the repair to the water line on Hillside Drive North has been completed and water has been restored to all homes. The damage to the line occurred during excavation work tied to the Hillside Drive North repair project.
Shortly after the event, the Emergency Operations Centre was assembled and steps were taken to notify the public and facilitate the repair which was completed at roughly 6:30 p.m. on Thursday by the city’s Public Works team. While repairs are completed, a boil water advisory will continue until further notice. As with any watermain break, water testing must be completed over several days. Typically, advisories are localized to the area where the break occurred, but as this break impacted the entirety of Elliot Lake, the advisory is city-wide.
Mr. deBortoli would like to thank crews who worked diligently to effect the repair and staff who delivered notices throughout the city. He would also like to thank residents for their co-operation.
