A huge water main break on Thompson Drive is expected to be fixed today.

Wayne Koversky, Director of Public Works, says a water main popped open in the early hours of Saturday morning. This caused a road closure on Thompson Drive from Cree Road to Quartz St for a couple of days.

Koversky said they excavated the break yesterday and depending on utility clearances, everything should be corrected today. The break also affected water pressures throughout the city.

The public is being reminded to obey road signs and avoid roads experiencing water breaks.
