Cloudy Water Notice - February 17, 2007

Canada Line Watermain Construction
To accommodate Canada Line 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 supply and capacity test on the night of February 17, 2007 from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. This test may result in turbidity (or cloudy water), discolouration or low pressure at your water taps.
These impacts are purely aesthetic. The public is asked to either run your taps until the water becomes clear, or refrigerate drinking water ahead of time.
During this time the City of Richmond will conduct monitoring to ensure water quality. We appreciate your understanding throughout this test.
For further information on water quality or water supply, please contact the City of Richmond’s Public Works Control Centre at 604-244-1262. For general information on Canada Line construction visit www.canadaline.ca, or call 604-608-0200.
