The Village of Sayward says ongoing issues with water drawn have triggered a level one Emergency Operations Centre and an investigation into a landslide that occurred near the Newcastle watershed.
According to the village, an investigation is being carried out to determine the extent of the landslide and any potential impacts on the Water Treatment Plant.
The Emergency Operations Centre is in discussions with McElhanney Limited to obtain more funding and get a technical report on remediation and mitigation options for the area.
Funding for the assessment has so far been obtained from the Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness.
