The Town of Orangeville closed a section of Third Street on March 12, 2026, to fix a broken water pipe. The emergency repair work began at 6 PM on the stretch of road between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue in Orangeville, Ontario.
Municipal crews closed the street to traffic so they could safely reach and repair the watermain break. The road remained shut down overnight while workers managed the infrastructure failure.
Residents living nearby were warned about possible water service interruptions throughout the night. To fix the break, crews often have to use valves to turn off the water supply in specific areas while they work on the pipes.
By the morning of March 13, 2026, the town continued to manage the site to finish the repairs. The goal is to restore regular water service and reopen the road to drivers as soon as the work is complete.
