There has been a break to a main watermain in Wingham, at the corner of Albert Street West and Josephine Street. At the time of the initial break, residents may have experienced low water pressure or a complete loss of water service. The break area has been isolated, and regular pressure should have returned to most properties. Repair crews are en-route. The repair timeline is currently unknown. Please continue to monitor the North Huron website and social media accounts for further updates. All properties in Wingham should keep a tap running until the water runs clear (approx. 2-3 hours), to flush the rusty water. The rusty water is treated, but will have an undesirable taste.

Update: 4:10 P.M. July 9, 2026 - Josephine Street will be closed between Charles Street and Alfred Street; Albert Street will be closed between Park Drive and Alice Street for watermain repairs.
