A water leak near a major Old Strathcona intersection forced several businesses to close Tuesday night.
Utility provider Epcor told CTV News Edmonton its crews responded to a water leak near 104 Street and Whyte Avenue at around 6 p.m.
On Wednesday, Epcor said 11 customers were affected and had their water restored in less than two hours.
Saylish Haas told CTV News Edmonton five restaurants she co-owns – Meat, The Next Act, Marlo Tacos, Pip and Pals Sandwiches – were forced to close Tuesday night.
Epcor said the source of the leak was a break on a hydrant line, not a water main as it initially said Tuesday.
Crews will complete the repairs “soon,” Epcor added, and it does not anticipate the work will impact businesses again.
