Sections of Nanaimo Avenue and Camrose Street are temporarily closed while the City’s Utilities crews conduct repairs following two water main failures.
Nanaimo Avenue will be closed between Martin and Main Streets until 4 p.m. today.
Camrose Street will be closed between Warren Avenue E and Cherry Avenue until 8 p.m. tonight.
Anyone driving through either of these areas is warned to slow down, watch for traffic control personnel and follow the detours.
Water main failures can be caused by changes in temperatures, causing the ground to shift. The City of Penticton is working to upgrade its aging underground infrastructure, with recent major capital projects including the Uplands/Redlands/Haven Hill work and the upgrades completed throughout the Point Intersection area, with more work planned for 2024 and onwards.
