The Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay – Water & Sewer Department is advising residents that Water Flushing Activities are continuing throughout the Valley and will continue until the work is completed.

Flushing will continue on October 16, 2023 to include the following streets:

• Kessessaskiou Street
• Courte Manche Street
• Grand Street
• Grenfell Street
• Strathcona Street
• Hamilton River Road (Palliser to Courte Real)
• Markland Road
• Corte Real Road
• Saunders Street
• Montagnais Road
• Cartwright Road
• Cartwright Crescent
• Paddon Road
• Riverview Drive
• Elizabeth Avenue
• Commercial Street

The water mains are cleaned by drawing water through the town’s fire hydrant system. We will implement a unidirectional flushing method to be conservative, and efficient. This method will also provide regular maintenance on our valves and hydrants.

During times of flushing water will become discolored, this is normal, it means we are removing sediment and scale build up on the inside of the piping system. We will always maintain the required disinfection level.

Residents who experience discolored water are urged to run the water through a tap until it becomes clear.

Please be mindful crews working on our streets with the aide of signage and town vehicles.  Please watch for following PSA update for location changes.

Any concerns please call the town office at 709-896-3321.

Residents will notice Town Vehicles in and around the areas mentioned above, and Motorists are advised to use caution while this critical maintenance activity is ongoing.

The Town apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause residents.
