2022-Oct-10 Water Update
Village of Empress Administration
Monday Oct 10, 2022
Good afternoon Village Residents,
I hope you enjoyed the Thanksgiving Festivities despite our water issues.
Another update:
1.) The tower gained a 3/4 a meter of water overnight Sunday which is stabilizing our reserve.
2.) We isolated the two blocks as planned and will wait until Tuesday morning to assess the progress.
3.) We will be continuing with shutting pumps down at 8 pm each evening and turning them back on at 6:30 am each morning so hopefully have enough pressure to get back to some sort of normal.
4.) We believe we have a larger leak on the north side ofthe village, therefore starting Tuesday morning after 9 am there will be intermittent shut downs on the parts of the village north of 3 ave / village offices; while we try to isolate it.
We thank you again for your patience as we try to pinpoint the leak(s) so that we can bring in the equipment to do the repairs.
Regards, Gary E. Peers Interim CAO for the Village of Empress
