CAMPBELL RIVER, B.C- Residents of Northern Area D may experience “significantly reduced” water flow on Sunday night and possibly Monday.
According to a press release from the Strathcona Regional District, repairs to a watermain are scheduled to begin at 9:00 am on Sunday July 22nd, and may affect water availability through to the next day.
Northern Area D and city residents living on Finch Road are asked to avoid all non-essential water use during that period.
The release said there is a leak in a city owned stretch of the watermain. The repair has been scheduled to be completed overnight to help minimize the potential impact on water users.
The city is “hopeful that the repair can be made without interrupting water flow”, but won’t be able to confirm that until they open up the ground on Sunday night.
“If it requires a more complex repair, the work could continue into Monday morning and water service to Northern Area D Water System users and City residents living on Finch Road could be impacted,” said SRD CAO David Leitch.
“The City has informed us that the leaking water main requires urgent repair, so we are happy to be able to have crews attend to the repair so quickly.”
If you have any questions, please contact the SRD office at 250 830 6700. Flyers will be placed around Area D notifying of the potential shutdown, and notices will be posted the SRD website, Facebook page and community bulletin boards.
