Watermain break causes restricted road access in Ajax

Whitby, Ontario – The Regional Municipality of Durham, Works Department advises residents of restricted road access to Old Kingston Road at the intersection of Kingston Road (Regional Highway 2), in the Town of Ajax due to a watermain break.

When: Road access is closed until repairs are complete.

Where: Access to Old Kingston Road is closed at the intersection of Kingston Road in Ajax.

Why: To repair a broken watermain.

Note: Residents and businesses in the immediate area may experience a water service interruption or decrease in water pressure during the repair. When the water service returns to normal, it is important for customers to turn on a cold water tap only and let it run for approximately five to 10 minutes to clean out any sediment that may have accumulated in your water service. This will avoid any sediment entering the hot water system.

The Region realizes that the work is disruptive and will make every effort to complete the work as quickly and efficiently as possible. Drivers are asked to exercise caution for the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and the work crews.
