PRINCE RUPERT, OCTOBER 11th, 2024 – The Boil Water Notice originally issued on September 10th has now been lifted.
“We are really grateful that our results have allowed us to remove this notice in time for residents to better enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday,” said Mayor Herb Pond. “That said, we want remind residents that Boil Notices will unfortunately continue to occur sporadically over the next few years until major construction on our water distribution system is complete.”
As previously noted, staff have attributed the failed results to construction within the water system. We are pleased to have corrected the issue and removed the Notice in time for the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend.
The City has sent this notice to local media and directly to residents via our municipal app and Connect Rocket emergency alert program. If you or someone you know have not subscribed to these services, please do so at https://princerupert.connectrocket.com/.
