Resident on the Duhamel Water System in Electoral Area F are being move to Stage 2 water conservation measures effective immediately.
The move aims to conserve water as a part of the well pump replacement project.
The last pump replacement occurred in 2004, and recent operational issues indicate the pump is at end-of-serviceable life. With the replacement of the well pump, electrical and control upgrades are also being implemented that will reduce power consumption, extend the pump life, and reduce future-planned generator size requirements.
Stage 2 water conservation measures include:
- Watering of lawns, gardens, trees, and shrubs is ONLY permitted between 6:00 am – 10:00 am and 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm.
- Watering of gardens, trees, and shrubs by watering can or handheld hose is still permitted anytime.
“The RDCK appreciates your cooperation in adhering to the above water conservation measures.” said the RDCK.
Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures will remain in effect until completion of the project in mid-July.
