FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Prince George, B.C. – The City of Prince George will close Carney Street between 8th Avenue and 10th Avenue from 7 a.m. on January 14 until 7 a.m. on January 15 for a water service replacement.
City crews will place a temporary asphalt patch in the evening of January 14 to ensure the road remains drivable. Sidewalk access will not be available during the closure.
The work involves replacing a water service installed in the 1950s. Nearby properties may experience temporary changes in water pressure or sediment. The water is safe to drink, and residents are advised to run their taps until the water clears if discolored. Properties affected by water shutoffs will be notified in advance.
A detour will be in place along Burden Street and Douglas Street. Motorists are asked to follow posted signage and use caution near the work area. The City thanks residents and motorists for their patience and cooperation as crews complete this necessary infrastructure work.
