Officials at Southgate Centre were forced to keep the shopping centre closed for several hours Monday, due to a water main break in the parking lot.

A spokesperson told CTV News the break occurred in the northwest area of the parking lot, and meant the washrooms were not operational.

Just after noon, the mall’s Twitter account announced the closure.

 

 

Hours later, another tweet said the issue had been resolved and the mall would open again in the afternoon.

 

 

Only certain stores reopened Monday afternoon.
