Most Blackburn Hamlet district residents have gas back on after outage

Enbridge Gas has reconnected the gaslines for all but four of the residents in Blackburn Hamlet after the area was hit by a twin gas main and water pipe break early Friday.

About 550 customers were affected by the gas outage after an Enbridge contractor hit a gas line, Innes ward Coun. Laura Dudas said.

By Saturday shortly before midnight, all but four residents had service restored, said a spokesperson for Enbridge.

That incident also forced the city to stop work on a water valve, which meant 60 to 70 residents lost that service and were on a boil-water advisory, which has now been lifted.
