The City of Vancouver says it has identified a new sewer main leak on Terminal Avenue between Quebec Street and Main Street, close to Science World.
This is the second sewer main issue this week. A leak on Thursday in Olympic Village — less than a kilometre away from Saturday’s leak — saw effluent being spewed into False Creek.
“The situation on-site at Terminal and Main is under control and crews are actively monitoring,” a spokesperson for the City told CityNews.
“At this stage, it is too early to know if this issue is connected to earlier issues this week, as the City hasn’t completed the full assessment. The current focus is on keeping people safe and ensuring people in the area are apprised of traffic impacts.”
The City says it is conducting an assessment of the situation.
