Winnipeg residents in a number of southern neighbourhoods are being asked to reduce water use as work continues to repair a problematic leak that has been spewing sewage into the river off-and-on for nearly two weeks.
The City of Winnipeg is asking residents in southwest Winnipeg to reduce the amount of water they use, as sewage continues to spill into the Red River near Fort Garry Bridge after a pipe broke earlier this month.
The City of Winnipeg wants some 90,000 residences and businesses in the southwest area of the city to know that every little bit of water they can keep from flowing into the sewer system helps, after a pipe crossing under the Red River near Fort Garry Bridge broke two weeks ago.
