Millar Ave reopened after temporary repair to water main

A broken water main that happened in Saskatoon on Friday as the weekend snowstorm approached has been temporarily repaired.

This means that Millar Avenue reopened to traffic on Sunday morning, the City of Saskatoon said in a news release, after the hole was filled with gravel.

Millar was closed at 43rd Street on Saturday, after Warman Road access ramps to Circle Drive westbound were closed overnight on Friday.

The city said that further repairs would be needed at the intersection.

Water supply has been restored in the area, although local businesses are under a drinking water advisory.
