Our community was shaken to its core this summer when we were all impacted by the effects of the White Rock Lake fire.
Unfortunately some of our community members who utilize the Killiney Beach water system still do not have potable water available in their homes.
The RDCO has completed the engineering assessment of the entire water system and work is underway to address the recommendations. The Do Not Consume Advisory continues to be in effect as boiling the water will not make the water safe to drink.
The assessment recommendations include:
· Additional chlorination dosing
· Specific water quality analysis related to wildfire impacts
· Inspection of system reservoirs and if necessary, based on those inspections, specialized cleaning and/or repairs.
Effective Oct. 28, the RDCO is providing a new free self-service, winterized water filling station for residents. It's located at the Shorts Creek firehall, Station 102 - 7355 Westside Road North. Please use this location as the previous filling station at the corner of Westside Road and Firwood Road will be removed.
