Work continues on the water pipe located near the Tammaativvik medical boarding home. Piped water service has been restored to all of Iqaluit, with the exception of Tammaativvik.
If you live in a rental unit and still have no water, please contact your landlord to advise them of the issue so they can contact a local contractor to clear the line.
Repairs continue to the water line located near the Tammaativvik medical boarding home. Tammaativvik remains without water for the time being.
Public Works believe the current situation can be resolved without a further city wide water shutdown. The City remains under a boil water order for residents connected to the piped water service.
Water service to Iqaluit residents is expected to return this evening, with the exception of the Tammaativvik medical boarding home. When water service is returned, a precautionary boil water advisory will be in place for residents on piped water service.
There will be another temporary water shutdown tomorrow to connect Tammaativvik to the piped system. The City will announce the time of the temporary shutdown tomorrow.
The City advises Residents that at 4:00pm, there will be a City wide water shutdown. This shutdown is necessary to allow for water line repairs near the Astro Hill complex.
Inuktitut and French versions of this statement will soon be available.

The City advises Residents, at about 3am this morning AV 305 on the high rise side of the AV had a major leak. The high rise will experience low pressure or water loss on the top floors 5th to the 8th. The Boarding Home has lost water but Public Works are working on it.
Please stay away from the creek in that area as a lot of water has made it very unstable until it freezes again.
