PLEASE NOTE DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9
Boissevain Utility Department has located a water main leak at the corner of North Railway and Broadway. This leak will require water to be shut off to repair the line. A planned water outage will occur on *Wednesday, August 9* from approximately 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
The planned outage will affect all utility users with the exception of those in the southeast corner: from Johnson Street east to Aikman, and from South Railway south to Mountain Street. *click here to view map of affected areas.
Please be aware, once water has been turned back on, a boil water advisory will be in effect. The Municipality will provide updates as they become available via Connect-Boissevain, social media and boissevain.ca.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Tips to prepare for the water outage and boil water advisory:
- Fill pots on the stove with water for cooking.
- Fill potable water containers for drinking. Assume about one gallon of drinking water per person per day.
- Fill bathtubs with water and use buckets to flush toilets. A toilet will flush when approximately a gallon of water is dumped into the bowl.
- During the water outage try not to operate the water faucets. This will prevent air from entering your plumbing.
