The head of Steinbach Waterworks says Hospital Street is closed for the day this Friday as crews replace a fire hydrant.

Mike Hoeppner says the construction work is being done just north of the hospital. He notes a water leak was detected at a fire hydrant on the west side of the street and crews are installing a new one. He adds the work should be complete by the end of the day and Hospital Street will be reopened for the weekend.

Hoeppner says Henry Street will be closed for a short while early next week as city waterworks crews will be replacing a fire hydrant in that area as well.
