A water main break shut down Petrolia roads and facilities Friday into Saturday.

Town hall was closed, due to a lack of water, as a result of a break at the corner of Greenfield Street and Petrolia Line that occurred Thursday evening.

Water was shut off at Tank Street and Petrolia Line.

The town said businesses and residents on the north side of Petrolia Line, from Station Street east to Tank Street and those on the south side of Petrolia Line from Greenfield Street East to Oil Street would be without water while repairs were made.

The Lambton County Library – Petrolia Branch was also closed Friday.
