Sept 2024 Newsletter
Hello Texada! Here are some notes on recent events:
WATER QUALITY: The recent Boil Water Notice was needed when one sample from Van Anda had a Coliform count of 2. Vancouver Coastal Health requires 2 subsequent samples that pass the test (0 Coliforms) before lifting the Boil Water Notice. There was already a Water Quality Advisory active as the secondary disinfection Ultraviolet Treatment is not fully effective yet. This is still in place as we solve treatment plant issues. More information on Notices and Advisories at vananda-id.ca/water-quality-notices/
TEXT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM: We are setting a system for notification by text. If you know of anyone who would like to be texted when there are water issues, please let us know. In the meantime, be notified immediately by email for outages and other events at vananda-id.ca/subscribe/
EVENING MEETING? We have heard that some residents would attend Board meetings if they were held in the evening rather than the afternoon. Please let us know if you would attend and evening meeting or information session.
NEXT MEETING: The next Regular Board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday Sep 11th 1:30pm
FIREFIGHTERS STILL NEEDED! No experience necessary. Training, gear, and on-duty insurance coverage provided. Many practices and training events are held together with Gillies Bay as Texada’s 2 FDs continue to work together.
