Rusty tap water not a health concern, city says

Some Ottawa residents may find discoloured tap water and a drop in pressure today due to work on Stage 2 LRT, but the city says it's not a health risk. The change in pressure is due to the decommissioning of the Cleary Avenue watermain, which has been taken out of service while crews work on the Stage 2 light rail tunnel. The issue affects some people living in College, Knoxdale-Merivale and River wards, the city said in a Wednesday afternoon statement.
