Water Main Fixed at Aberdeen and Queen

A water main break at Aberdeen Avenue and Queen Street has been cleared overnight.

The break occurred early yesterday afternoon and disrupted traffic until late at night, as lane restrictions forced vehicles coming down the escarpment on Beckett Drive to turn right at Aberdeen.

After school yesterday, a crossing guard was dispatched to the signalized pedestrian crossing at Aberdeen Avenue and Kent Street.

Neighbouring residents reported a drop in water pressure while repair work was underway.

Is everyone else's water pressure back to 100%? Mine is decent, but weaker than usual.

Ours doesn't seem to be 100% either, which raises the questions how would one measure it and what should it be?
