City water division to shut off water service to install infrastructure

Water service will be affected Wednesday night (Nov. 11).

The City of Stratford’s water division will start a shutdown at 9:30 p.m., affecting properties on the north and south side of Ontario Street, between Huron Street and Erie Street.

City staff said the shutdown is needed to install water infrastructure near the intersection of Huron and York Street. The goal of the installation is to lower future interruptions to water service.

This comes after a recent watermain break took place on York Street.

They add staff will recharge the watermain with water and flush nearby hydrants following the installation. Residents may experience some discoloured water.

The work is scheduled to finish at 3:30 a.m. Thursday.
