The Boil Water Notice, put into place at the end of November, is now anticipated to last another 4-6 weeks. As noted in a previous update, in December the City became aware that due to the installation of the new water supply main there is an isolated section of pipe where water has sat too long. This water has the potential to be reintroduced to the water supply. In recent weeks the City and contractors working on the project have identified and commenced the work plan to address this issue. The City has been provided a completion date for the end of February for the project, and will work to reduce that timeframe wherever possible.

Public Notice
Fall and winter months mean heavier rain and snow in Prince Rupert. With falling leaves and other debris, clogged catch basins can lead to flooded streets and garbage/debris washing into waterways.
