Broken Watermain

The Regional Municipality of Durham maintains a large water supply system. Watermains are under paved portions of roadways. They are also under sidewalks or grassed boulevards.

Watermain breaks

Watermains breaks can cause significant damage to the surrounding area. The impact of a watermain break may be more subtle. Water might bubble out of the ground. There might be an unexplained pool of water on the road or in the boulevard.

If you observe a watermain break, contact your local Region of Durham Works Department depot.
