Water main break on North Street in Bridgewater disrupting water service for many residents

A large watermain break has disrupted water service for residents and businesses on the east side of the LaHave River in Bridgewater.

Municipal staff are currently working to repair the break and restore normal service, though there is no timeline yet for when water will be fully restored. Officials say updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

Once repairs are complete and water pressure returns to normal, the Public Service Commission of Bridgewater is advising affected customers to run their taps for five to ten minutes if they notice any air in the lines or discoloured water. This step helps clear sediment that may have entered the system during the disruption.

The Town of Bridgewater and the Public Service Commission have apologized for the inconvenience and are asking residents for patience as crews continue their work.
