Please help us find the leak. Any new wet areas or sounds of water are signs. So is lowered water pressure at your residence. Thank you.

Test results received today from Vancouver Coastal Health show that the water is safe.

Samples were collected June 21 as a precautionary measure after firefighting activity.

After Friday’s intense firefighting, VAID called a Water Quality Advisory. There is a possibility that after heavy use on the water system, water may not be safe to drink. Extra chlorine is added as a preventative, but we will not know for sure until test results are confirmed by VCH. We advise boiling water for at least a minute before consumption, especially for those with health issues.
