We have scheduled the next step in the Riverside Avenue watermain replacement project! Let's get residents connected to the new watermain.

To take this next step, we must schedule several water interruptions. If you experience water interruptions on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday of next week, please know it is the result of our preparation for and completion of the watermain project. Thank you for your understanding - we are looking forward to completing this project and having reliable services to offer our residents.

In preparation for the longer water shut downs on September 24 and 26, please fill up your water jugs, make sure your plants are watered and your pets have full bowls of water. If you need support preparing for the water outage, please contact the District at 250-836-2477. We have bottled water available upon request and will try to meet any of your other needs!
