Customers of the Killiney Beach Water System along the north end of Westside Road should be aware of a planned water service outage. Regional District crews will be making improvements to the Winchester Control Room as a part of the infrastructure improvement program.
The work is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, June 9th from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm and will impact water service for approximately 160 properties on the upper side, or west, of Westside Road. Please note that the time of service restoration is an estimate only and may vary. Roadside and mailbox notices will be put up in advance of the work. Only those customers above Westside Road will be affected by the water service interruption.
It is recommended that on the day of the scheduled water interruption impacted customers:
After completion of the infrastructure improvements, RDCO staff will flush the distribution system to remove any impurities which may have entered during construction. Following the interruption and after water supply has been restored, it is recommended that affected customers run a cold water tap until the water runs clear.
A precautionary Water Quality Advisory will be in place following completion of the scheduled work for all customers of the Killiney Beach water system. All water intended for drinking, washing fruit and vegetables, making beverages, ice or brushing teeth should be boiled for at least one minute or customers should use a safe alternative to water from the tap such as bottled or distilled water.
If you have any questions regarding the interruption please contact Regional District Engineering Services at 250-469-6241 or email engineer@rdco.com.
