The City of Estevan would like to advise the public that the 1400 block of 4th Street will be closed beginning at 6:00 am on Wednesday, February 28th to repair a water main break.

"There will be no through traffic at this time," explained Rebecca Westling with the City of Estevan. "The sidewalks will remain open during construction."

"Completion is expected in a 24 hour period but extenuating circumstances may cause hold ups."

Drivers are asked to follow detour routes as posted.

"Both westbound and eastbound traffic will detour at 15th Ave and 13th Ave either along Third Street or Fifth Street. The Truck Route will be detoured to the Fifth Street route."

"Residents in the affected area will need to flush lines within your home and use alternate drinking water supply until the system has returned to normal and samples are confirmed acceptable. After seven days, you may resume using the water for drinking."
