Traders Cove Waterworks Boil Water NOTICE still in place.

One of the shutoff valves is leaking and a new valve has been ordered. As a result of this part failure the chlorine levels are not currently stabilized therefore we remain on boil water until further notice.

Thank you for your patience!

Traders Cove Waterworks Trustees have issued a Boil Water Notice after noticing lower levels of chlorine in the system. It was discovered a chlorine injector has failed and needs repair. As a result, they are issuing a BOIL WATER NOTICE until the injector can be repaired and chlorine levels are back up to acceptable levels.

Follow these guidelines until further notice!

Anxious moments last night as we experienced the “new” night vision helicopters fighting a new ignition south of the Blue Grouse wildfire above Bear Creek. Crews from BC Wildfire Service were supported by WLFD Station 42 to get it under control.

I’m sure many of us lost some sleep last night. Keep those go bags ready in case of future fire activity from above.
