Water Main Flushing

The Town of Gander is advising residents that the systematic flushing of all main water lines will start September 3, 2024, and will continue until November 15, 2024. This will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

During this period, residents may experience fluctuating water pressure, discoloration, or debris in the water lines. If this occurs, run the water until clear, then remove faucet aerators and carefully flush any debris from screens and washers, ensuring that all parts are reassembled in the correct order and orientation.

It is not recommended to wash laundry between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. to avoid the possibility of staining.

The purpose of this flushing is to provide a higher quality of water.

Your understanding is appreciated.

  • Cooper Boulevard Roundabout Construction
    The Town of Gander is excited to announce that construction has begun for a new roundabout at the intersection of Cooper Boulevard and Memorial Drive.
    Why a Roundabout?
    This initiative comes in response to increased traffic on Cooper Boulevard, with funding allocated during the 2024 budget process. A comprehensive report by traffic engineers recommended the roundabout as the best solution to improve long-term safety at this busy intersection. The project is cost-shared through the provincial Multi-Year Capital Works funding program.
    Key Benefits:
    • Improved Safety: Roundabouts reduce the risk of accidents and promote safer driving.
    • Better Traffic Flow: They help minimize congestion and delays.
    • Formalized Pedestrian Crossings: Enhanced safety and visibility for pedestrians.
    We understand that the introduction of a roundabout in the community may cause some uncertainty. The Town is committed to providing ongoing information and educational resources to ensure a smooth transition.
