Unidirectional Flushing - April 16, 2026

Village crews will be performing unidirectional flushing today, April 16, 2026, and this flushing will continue until further notice. Village crews will be performing this work to clear the water mains of any potential concentrations of manganese.

Recently, manganese levels within the Village Wells 2 and 3 have fluctuated between acceptable and above the Maximum Acceptable Concentration. As a precaution these Wells are not adding water to our system. Flushing is a means to ensure there are no pockets of elevated manganese levels located in the system, and general good maintenance of our water distribution system.

INSTRUCTIONS
If you experience discoloured water at any time over the next month, please follow the following steps:

- Run the outside tap closest to the Village's water line for ten (10) minutes;
- Remove the aerators (screens) from your taps inside the house;
- Turn the cold water tap on and let the water run for ten (10) minutes; then
- Place the aerators back on your taps.
Your water pressure during this time may be low; however, if you experience no water/a complete reduction in water pressure, call the Village Office at 250-265-3689.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we ensure the best quality of drinking water for everyone.
