Thousands of people in Regina had a tough time having a shower before work Friday morning, as the city was having problems with its water pressure.
According to Greg Kuntz, the acting director of water, waste and environment services for the City of Regina, there was a control failure at one of the city’s three pumping stations.
Kuntz said that caused the city to lose some pressure in its lines. The other three stations picked up the slack a bit and stopped the system from completely losing pressure.
“About an hour later, we were able to get the system back up on manual and restore pressure,” said Kuntz.
He’s not entirely sure of the reason for the problem, but Kuntz said all the city knows is that the computer control failed and the automation wouldn’t work on the system.
The pressure loss affected everything south of Ninth Avenue North. The further from the city centre, the worse the pressure loss was.
“Out in The Greens, you would have noticed a substantial pressure drop whereas, say, in downtown, the pressure drop would have been much less noticeable,” said Kuntz.
Everything is expected to be back to normal on Saturday or Sunday.
“We have people watching the system and once we get it back on automation, it’ll be back to normal,” said Kuntz.
In the meantime, Kuntz said people could smell or taste something odd in the water or see a discolouration. He said running the tap will get rid of that.
