Due to ongoing construction at the soon-to-be upgraded Water Distribution Plant in Humboldt, water pressure will be decreased on Friday.

The city has announced that as of 8:00am, residents of Humboldt will notice lowered water pressure. This is being done so crews can safely work on a water main tie-in at the plant.

They advise that if problems occur during the work, an alternate plan will be implemented for short-term water usage, which would include a Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory.

At their Monday meeting of council, the city stated that the project continues to be on time and on budget, with a completion estimate of early next year.
