​What to do if you have a water outage or other water issue

If you're experiencing a water outage, a loss of water pressure or discoloured water there may be a nearby water outage. It's important to check a few things first before contacting EPCOR.

  • Check multiple faucets, make sure it isn't just one tap that has the problem.

  • Locate and check your main shut off valve to ensure it's working properly.

  • If your issue is low water pressure or water is spurting, check your water pressure regulator to make sure it's working properly.

If you've completed these three tasks and you're still experiencing water issues, call our 24/7 emergency line at (780) 412-4500.
