Cloudy Water Notice
06 December 2006
To accommodate Canada Line rapid transit construction and passage along Cambie Street, the Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD) must re-align the Cambie-Richmond watermain at 41st and 49th Avenues in Vancouver.This watermain is the major source of drinking water to West Richmond.
In preparation of the re-alignment work, and in collaboration with the City of Richmond, the GVWD will be conducting a 36 hour supply and capacity test between December 9, 2006 and December 30, 2006. This test may result in turbidity (or cloudy water), discolouration or low pressure at your water taps.
These impacts are purely aesthetic. Either run taps until water becomes clear, or refrigerate drinking water ahead of time.
We appreciate your understanding throughout this time.
For further information on water quality or water supply, please contact Steve McClurg, Water Services Manager at 604-244-1209.
