November 19: The Town of Sussex wishes to advise that while the Town was performing scheduled work on a section of the Main Street watermain that supplies potable water to residences / businesses in Ward 1 on Tuesday November 19, 2024, that unexpectedly, the Town experienced catastrophic failure of the watermain in that area that has impacted service pressures in Ward 1. The restoration of the water system work will require an assessment in the water system integrity in Ward 1 that could result in a potential contamination of drinking water, and, as such it is necessary to undertake this advisory as a precaution.
Work on the localized area of impact, the failure area, is expected to take approximately 8 hours to complete system repairs. This water system work will require a breach in the water system integrity that could result in a potential contamination of drinking water in the immediate area of the break / failure, and, as such it is necessary to undertake this advisory as a precaution.
Ward 2 residents are unaffected by this advisory.
WARD 1 – AREAS IN BLUE
WARD 2 – AREAS IN YELLOW
WARD 1 – THE HIGHLIGHTED AREAS ARE ALL INCLUDED IN WARD 1.
The Town of Sussex apologizes for this inconvenience, but your health is our primary concern.
