Homes and businesses along Third Avenue in downtown Prince George, B.C., are without water as crews work to repair a broken pipe. In 2012, the city identified the replacement of aging water mains in downtown Prince George as a key challenge. "We're in the process of fixing pipes that are older, but that is a very long process with the amount of water main lengths that we have in Prince George." Liston said once water service is restored, people should run their taps for a while before using any water, but she added there is no risk to the public.
