Planned watermain shutdown September 20 for 100 to 300 block of Chaffey Street
Posted | September 19, 2023
Please be advised that the Niagara Region and the City of Welland are replacing watermain valves in the areas of the 100 to 300 block of Chaffey Street, beginning at 7:30 a.m.
Water service may be interrupted during that time, so please consider filling clean jugs for drinking and cooking purposes during that time frame. Please refrain from laundry and using the dishwasher until later in the day when the valve testing is complete.
