METER PROJECT UPDATES

A community presentation was held at the Legion on Oct 9 – thanks to those who attended. Notes from the meeting are this website page.

Work has begun with Davis Ventures performing the site work of installing meter setters in pits near the property line for about 150 service connections. 86 water connections already have meter setters into which meters will be installed in the next few months.

Meters have been ordered from Flow Systems, who handle Neptune products. Software and billing setup is in progress.

The aggregate bins next to the Firehall were built by Davis Ventures to hold the materials needed for the site work.  We have purchased a storage container to store the parts while work is underway. Both the aggregate bins and storage container are legacy purchases and will be used for other purposes after the project is complete.

All costs are covered by Provincial Government Funding.

WATER RESTRICTIONS ENDED

Water restrictions ended Sep 30. There was no need to move to Stage 3 this year. Water production has dropped significantly in the last month, following seasonal patterns.

WALL ST PUMPHOUSE UPDATES

New pressure tanks have been installed at the Wall St pumphouse.  Some residents report improved pressure. Electrical work is underway to enable easy switching to a backup pump when needed and to prepared for generator use during power outages.

FIREFIGHTERS ALWAYS NEEDED!

Training and gear provided, as well as 24-hr accident coverage, volunteer tax credit, and more.  All costs covered by the Fire Department.
