Major water break leaves Snow Lake on boil water advisory
Around suppertime on Jan. 24, people in the Snow Lake became aware of the problem through shared posts on a Facebook community bulletin board.
Ordinarily, when an underground water line breaks or leaks, water surfaces in a ditch or on the roadway giving workers some indication of where to dig.
Snow Lake’s town foreman Andrew Smith advised in a further posting that the water main along the street in front of the school was installed directly over top the sewer main.
Due to depressurization of the waterline, a boil water advisory was issued by the province on the morning of Jan. 25.
Following this, traffic was rerouted and town employees, supplemented by several contract workers, began the arduous task of locating and fixing the break.
“We located the break late Saturday morning (Jan. 27) and made the necessary repairs within a few hours.” Cleanup lasted into Saturday evening, with the affected streets reopening to traffic by 8 p.m. that night.
By employing a temporary shunt between fire hydrants during the dig, workers were able to supply water at limited pressure to the Brentwood subdivision; certainly this helped prevent freezing of residential lines in the -30 Celsius temperatures.
Workers no sooner had the hoses rolled up, their equipment put away, and their feet up when they received another call to the community’s Sunset Bay Subdivision.
The vicinity of the leak had been located by Monday afternoon, but the leak had yet to be pinpointed.
The boil water advisory remains in effect until testing proves it potable.
Major water break leaves Snow Lake on boil water advisory
It appears that community water problems aren’t exclusive to Swan River. Although, at the time of this writing, that central Manitoba town was faced with a loss of water throughout the entire community; five hours to the north, Snow Lake was recovering from a major water break that closed the school, uptown businesses, the community daycare and put the majority of the town on a boil water advisory. Around suppertime on Jan. 24, people in the Snow Lake became aware of the problem through shared posts on a Facebook community bulletin board. Many noted that they had little or no water pressure and by 10 p.m. that evening the town’s chief administrative officer Ross Gilmore confirmed that a water main had “ruptured” near the community’s Joseph H. Kerr School. He noted that they would attempt to keep the water system charged and flowing to all neighbourhoods; however, the school, Wilfred T. Lipton Arena, Gordon M. Rupp Curling Rink, several businesses and the Brentwood Subdivision were reporting pressure that varied from low to none at all. Further to this, the town had applied for a dig permit and excavation…
Upper Aspinwall Water Main Break Prompts Boil Water Advisory
ASPINWALL (KDKA) — Hundreds of homes are without water in upper Aspinwall following a water main break.
Two pipes broke Thursday morning while crews were working on a third, separate pipe at the corner of 8th and Center Streets.

The water is expected to be restored by morning, but a boil water advisory will then be in effect.
“The DEP will come in and do a couple of tests, but while we’re under that boil water advisory, the residents will be advised to boil the water for cooking,” said Emergency Management Coordinator Andy Marsh That advisory also applies to drinking water.
It will remain in effect for at least 48 hours.
Aspinwall Borough officials are also providing updates on their website.
Bottled water is available at the Aspinwall Borough Building and Fire Station #2.
Borough officials say water to clean and flush toilets is available at Fire Station #1, but you’ll need to bring a container.
The water in lower Aspinwall is working and usable, officials say.
