11th Avenue reopens to east-west traffic; limited boil water Notice in effect for some residents

Water main work has been completed, but with road surface repairs still
required reduced speed signs are in place along 11th Avenue East

The City of Prince Rupert has reopened both travel lanes along 11th Avenue East to traffic this weekend with the majority of the water main repairs complete.

However as they still  have some finishing work to do on the surface of the street at some point in the future, the signage and barriers that have become a familiar sight over the last week or so will remain in place over the weekend, with reduced speed limits in effect.

With the water work now complete, water service has also been restored to those homes which had been impacted by the work,  however some of the residents in that area will remain on a Boil Water Notice until water testing is completed and Northern Health allows for the Notice to be lifted.

Those that are affected by that Boil Water Notice have been advised by way of a notice from the City of Prince Rupert.

The full notice which cam reviewed below, was posted to the City website and delivered through its various social media and communication portals.
