Buildings 460 & 470 - Backflow Prevention Installation - November 12, 2025

Backflow prevention is going to be installed in Buildings 460 and 470 on November 12, 2025.

  • Building 460 will be the first building shut off, this will occur at 7:30 am with an expected duration of 4.5 hours.
  • Building 470 will follow with the same expected duration.

There will be no water available in the buildings for the duration of this work. Washrooms and sinks will be out of operation for the duration of this work, both buildings will not be down at the same time – we will wait until one is restored until proceeding with the next.
