Newsletter Apr 2025
Hello Texada! Here are some notes on recent events:
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING will be held on Saturday April 26, 9.30 at the Legion in Van Anda. Reports and draft financials will be available on the website and at the office the week before. If you believe changes are needed, come to the AGM! This year, there will be either one or two Trustee positions for election. Do you or anyone you know want to be part of managing these important resources?
LEAK REPAIR SUCCESS! Recent repairs completed on Sturt Bay Rd and Smelter Rd, along with the 3 leaking hydrants temporarily shut off, have decreased water usage by more than half!!! These locations were identified by Velocity Water Service’s leak detection in early January and were not where we expected. The resulting savings on water treatment expendables such as filters, salt, hydro, and chlorine will pay for the service in a short time. We will have more accurate volumes to share after the next monthly analysis of the data logged at the plant.
TEXT NOTIFICATION: System is now live. If you want to be texted about important water issues, provide us with your mobile number and we’ll add you to the list.
