November 4 Water Main Breaks: Status update
On Wednesday, November 4, scheduled work by Ville de Montréal on its main water network caused a higher-than-expected increase in pressure. This surge led to several water main breaks, leaks and flooding in Westmount and in the borough of Ville-Marie.
Several areas of Westmount experienced drops in water pressure and water service interruptions, as well as power outages required to carry out the repair work.
City of Westmount crews worked throughout the evening and overnight, in constant contact with Ville de Montréal, to limit damage and restore service.
Ville de Montréal crews intervened to stabilize the pressure, which has returned to normal in most areas. Water quality was not compromised at any time, as confirmed by Ville de Montréal.
Thursday, November 5: Status update
- A limited number of addresses on Kensington Avenue, Sainte-Catherine Street and Greene Avenue are still experiencing some issues related to this incident. City crews are following up directly with the affected residents.
- Westmount High School is closed this Thursday, November 5, as the water supply to the building must be shut off to allow for repairs to the water line, which began this morning. Parents are encouraged to follow the school’s communications for information on its reopening.
- On Sainte-Catherine Street, east of Wood Avenue, traffic has partially resumed. One lane is open westbound and two lanes are open eastbound.
NOTE: Further traffic disruptions on Sainte-Catherine Street, Wood Avenue and Greene Avenue may occur as of Thursday, November 5, to allow repair work to be carried out. - Kensington Avenue is now open. However, repair work is planned in the coming days and may result in a partial lane closure.
Motorists and pedestrians are asked to use caution near work zones and follow posted signage.
