Due to a major leak in the water main on Smelter, water has been turned off at the main by the Wharf. Anyone East of this point will be without water until the main is repaired. If you are affected by this outage, we recommend turning off power to your hot water tank and ensuring all faucets are closed.

Our water operators are on the job and we will keep you updated. An estimated time for the outage will be provided when we have more information on the cause of the leak and the repairs needed.

UPDATE: the repair was completed by 3.30 pm, thanks to the speedy response of our crew including contractor Al Davis. We suspect this had been an ongoing substantial leak and hope to see a reduction of pump hours now its fixed.

We encourage everyone to join our Board of Trustees for their regular monthly meeting, upstairs at the Firehall on Wednesday Feb 16th at 1.30pm, unless public health concerns determine otherwise.

Invoices for 2022 Water Tolls and Parcel Taxes were mailed early in January. If you have not received yours, please contact us. Big thanks to those who have paid already! The Newsletter and Metering Feasibility report summary included in the mailout also can be found here.

Please note that the Metering Report was created after requests from residents at the last AGM. There are no plans to proceed with changing from flat rates to meters for residents. If there is continued interest in switching to meters, we will hold special public meetings and have discussions to ensure that any change to residential metering is done only if a majority of residents agree to the change.

The public is welcome to join our Board of Trustees for their regular monthly meeting, upstairs at the Firehall on Wednesday Jan 12th at 1.30pm, unless public health concerns determine otherwise.

Previous meetings minutes can be found on the Meetings & Minutes page.

We have seen huge decreases in water usage this year with repairs and replacement of leaky lines and water mains.

Winter usually brings an increase in water usage as some residents keep water running to avoid freezing of water lines. If you need to do this, remember that the faucet needs to be open only a very small amount; just enough to keep the water moving.

We encourage you to insulate your water lines to avoid needing to run water. Ways to do this yourself are on our new Winter page.

The public is welcome to join our Board of Trustees for their regular monthly meeting.

Meeting upstairs at the Firehall on Wednesday Dec 8th at 1.30pm.

Water conservation Stage 2 is no longer in effect. Residents are still urged to conserve water where possible to ensure adequate water volume is available in our reservoir to provide fire protection should it be required.
