Water Main Construction 
 
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE:  There will be installation work to an existing water main on Thursday, May 21, 2009 from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. at the Northwest Ottawa Water Filtration Plant.  This work is in conjunction with the Northwest Ottawa Water System (NOWS) plant expansion project.  NOWS officials anticipate a temporary disruption in water supply, once the water is turned back on, there may be a slight discoloration of the water and trapped air in some lines associated with this construction.  You should run water in the bathtub or a utility sink to clear the water. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
 
If you have any questions regarding this notice, please feel free to contact Joe VanderStel, Water Facilities Manager, at (616) 847-3487.
