The City replaced the pressure reducing valve (PRV) chamber located in the northeast quadrant of the Livingstone Street East and Osprey Ridge Road intersection (adjacent to 63 Osprey Ridge Road).
The PRV chamber is an integral component of the City’s water distribution system that regulates water pressures within the system.
