DISRUPTION OF WATER SERVICE

The Water Division wishes to notify residents that they may experience low or no water pressure while we facilitate a water main valve replacement.

This disruption of water service will affect approximately 375 residences in the Lower Town, Solly, Peach Orchard, Switchback, and North Lakeshore areas.

Specific Roads that are affected are as follows:

Lakeshore Drive South from Highway 97 to 17213 Lakeshore Drive North

Peach Orchard Road from Lakeshore Drive to 7129 Peach Orchard Road

Switchback Road area up to and including Elsey Avenue

This disruption of water service will take place during the NIGHT of:

Tuesday, November 13, 2012

from

9:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.

Note that this date is subject to change if staff is required to respond to an emergency.  If this occurs you will be notified of a new date.

Residents are advised to:

·         keep an adequate supply of water on hand.

·         ensure that all automatic equipment using water (electrical or otherwise), is suitably protected for the shutdown.

·         ensure that your hot water tank is shut off and that it is adequately filled with water before it is reactivated.

After the water service has been fully restored, please check for sediment before using.  Running a cold water tap for a few minutes will clear the lines.

The District of Summerland accepts no liability for damage resulting from this disruption in water service.

If your property is a rental unit, please notify your renters as this notification is only being sent to property owners.

The District of Summerland apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause you and thanks you for your cooperation.
