Power outage could provide water shortage

Westside Road residents asked to conserve water.

Customers of the Killiney Beach and Westshore Estates Water Systems are being asked to limit their water use to domestic indoor household needs.   

It's recommended that outdoor irrigation be voluntarily curtailed until further notice in order to conserve water within the system.

This is the result of the ongoing power outage affecting approximately 1,500 customers in the area of Westside Road following Sunday night's wind storm.

Without electricity, there is no pumping capacity within the systems to replenish reservoirs.  There is the possibility, should the power outage continue beyond this evening, that some customers may run out of water.

More than 280 properties are serviced in the Killiney Beach subdivision and 265 properties in the Westshore Estates subdivision, which are located off Westside Road.
