Water Restrictions
Water restrictions are implemented when required to conserve drinking water. Watering restrictions help ensure that residents continue to have a high-quality water supply to provide for residential consumption and fire protection.
For the Stages of Water Restrictions and what they mean, see details.
Water Quality
Your drinking water undergoes routine water quality analysis to ensure that residents are provided with clean, safe water. Residents can take pride in their drinking water. It continually meets or exceeds quality standards set out in the BC Drinking Water Protection Regulation BC Drinking Water Protection Act and the Canadian Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality health-based parameters.
Flushing Schedules
The water system is flushed regularly to refresh water in the system. There are two types of regular flushing:

Full system flush - Every valve in the system is operated annually and a uni-directional flush of the system is performed to remove sediment. This typically take 2 weeks.
