Water Shut Off

Some good questions have been asked about the pending water shut off.  The Aqua 7 Regional Water System Commission has advised all its water users that it will shut off the water for a period of time to facilitate repairs to the water line.  Hopefully the shut-down will be less than 48 hours but sometimes unforseen diificulties make these kinds of things take longer!

Beiseker will be informed of exactly when the line will be shut down.  At that point we will fill our resevoir to the top.  At normal usage, that gives us enough water for three days.  We will likely ask village residents to avoid activities using large volumes of water while the shut-down is in effect.

I will reccommend to council that we have a contingency plan ready in case the shut-down goes past that 48 hour timeline or if we need more water for firefighting.  That plan will likely involve trucking water to the village.  In my opinion, those costs would have to be covered by Aqua 7!  Let me know if this answers your questions and addresses your concerns.
