The taps are once again running after a water break in south-end Kitchener left 100 homes without water.
The break happened at around 6:20 p.m. Friday night on Doon Village Road, just minutes after Kitchener Utilities finished repairs on another water main break a short distance away.
The company hoped to restore service by Saturday morning, but a spokesperson says repairs were delayed.
Crews discovered a damaged specialized part on the water main, and had to order in a new one.
Water was turned off on Doon Village Road from Bechtel Drive to Pioneer Drive, as well as on Harvest Crescent.
The city of Kitchener says service was finally restored just before 6:30 p.m. on Saturday evening.
In a release, Kitchener Utilities says residents may find the water slightly discoloured or "milky” when it’s first turned on.
“To eliminate the dirty water you can turn on a cold water tap nearest your water meter and let it flush slowly for several minutes until it runs clear,” the company writes in a release.
