A water main break off Burton Avenue in the Donovan area of the city has resulted in water being shut off to several streets in the area, according to a notice sent out by the City of Greater Sudbury around 6 a.m. Tuesday.

That's because the valve will need to be turned off, but as the main does not loop in that area, and instead continues to other streets, the repairs will result in no water for several streets as well as Burton.

These streets include: Humber, Hearne, Cabot, Selkirk, Rio, Secord and Nicolet streets. The CTV building on Frood Road will also be affected.

It is expected that the main will be repaired by this afternoon.

There are four municipal filling stations from which residents may draw municipally treated water free of charge: Bay Street in Whitefish, Countryside Drive in Sudbury, near the Gerry McCrory Countryside Sports Complex, Bancroft Drive in Sudbury, near Moonlight Beach Road and Spruce Street in Garson.

Once water is restored, residents are asked to run their faucet to clear the sediment that may have gathered while the main was offline.

Incidents of discoloured water once water has been restored should be reported to 311.
