Notice to Residents in the Sun Peaks Resort Area
Sun Peaks Utilities’ Water Utility crews will be starting on their annual water hydrant maintenance and water main flushing program. From Monday, April 26 to Friday, May 21st, 2010, crews will be performing inspections, testing and flushing for the 90 plus fire hydrants located throughout the resort.
• This preventative maintenance program for hydrants will concentrate on internal hydrant operations and flow testing.
• These programs are carried out as manpower and time permit, so issuance of advance notice for your street is not possible.
• During the flushing operation, poor water pressure and/or turbid (discoloured) water may result. This situation is temporary and may last up to two hours.
• Although not aesthetically pleasing, the turbid (discoloured) water is not a health hazard. However, laundry contents may be affected.
• If you do experience discolouration in your water, we suggest that you run an outside COLD water tap until the water runs clear.
Flow testing will take place after 8:00 am each day to allow residents to use the system before any deposits in the water mainlines are possibly upset. Crews will try to finish before 4:30 pm to allow any left over deposits to settle prior to evening use. Some hydrants may need re-testing.
Please assist us in keeping shrubs and trees pruned back from fire hydrants. Motorists are encouraged to slow down and use caution when approaching flushing crews.
The staff of Sun Peaks Utilities are available to answer your inquiries during normal business hours. For more information, call the office at 250-578-5490. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
