If you believe changes are needed, come to the AGM! This year, there will be two Trustee positions for election. Do you or anyone you know want to be part of managing these important resources?
9.30 am at the Legion in Van Anda, Saturday April 26 2025.
Agenda (updated Apr 23)
Chlorine levels are back to normal. UV treatment is fully functional after replacement of the ion exchanger media and the ion exchangers back online.
An issue with the chlorine pump has caused too much chlorine to be added to the water. Maximum recommended levels are 4 parts per million (ppm); this mornings measurement at the tank was close to 6 ppm. Usual level is around 3 ppm.
The quickest way to remove chlorine from water is by boiling for 15 mins. Alternatively, leaving the water in a pot or other container with wide opening for at least 24 hours will remove the chlorine by evaporation.
Please share this with others, especially to those with pre-existing health conditions.
The cause of this issue is the faulty chlorine analyzer. A replacement has been ordered.
Due to unforseen circumstances, the regular board meeting scheduled for Wed Feb 12 has been postponed for one week and will now be held on Wed Feb 19. 1.30 upstairs at the Van Anda Firehall.
All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
This morning’s tests show the chlorine levels are within limits. Problem appears to be in the chlorine analyzer/controller. We are sourcing a new unit.
Water Quality Advisory remains in effect
