Water main repairs and outages reported in British Columbia

Repairs to a major regional water transmission main in View Royal, British Columbia, have been completed. The Capital Regional District reported that work on the Highway 1 main, located between the Island Highway and Six Mile Road overpasses, concluded on October 29. The northbound lane has reopened, and the district thanked residents in Saanich and the Saanich Peninsula for reducing water usage during the repair period. An additional section of the transmission main in Saanich has been scheduled for repair before the end of the year.

In a separate event, the Regional District of North Okanagan has issued a planned water outage for Mabel Lake Water Utility customers in rural Enderby on October 30. The outage is due to construction work. Following the restoration of service, affected residents will be placed under a precautionary water quality advisory until testing confirms the water meets safety guidelines. Residents are advised to boil water for at least one minute for consumption and hygiene purposes as a precaution.
