Emergency Update: Wastewater System Under Pressure Again

A new weather system has brought heavy rainfall, once again pushing the City’s wastewater system close to critical capacity.
 
As flows continue to rise rapidly, the system is under significant strain, and we  re-opened an emergency discharge point at the main sewage lift station to protect critical infrastructure and prevent backups into homes and businesses.
 
Vac trucks are being used to support operations, and operators have been working through the night to manage elevated flows.
 
Residents and businesses are again asked to immediately conserve water—please limit laundry, dishwashing, showers, and all non-essential water use.
 
Further updates will be shared as the situation changes.
