WHAT
Water in the whole district will be turned off to search for leaks at the east end of Mariners to Dalton and on Dalton.
WHEN
Wednesday May 21st from 10am until approximately 4pm.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Please leave your fixtures off (don’t use water) until 6pm or until we post a notice here on the vpid.ca home page that the water is back on.
IF YOUR PROPERTY IS ON DALTON
During this exercise we will be concentrating our search on Dalton. If you have a property there with the water off please email back to give us permission to turn your water on for a short while. Without your permission our search won’t be quite as thorough.
FLUSHING TOILETS
If you wish to flush during the water outage, please turn off your toilet water first from the valve below and behind. You can optionally refill the toilet tank from a bucket of water saved from before the outage.
HOT WATER TANKS
It is recommended to turn off the breaker for your hot water tank in the unlikely event that your line is drained. Same goes for pumps that depend on a steady supply of water.
HELP US IF YOU CAN
If you are on island during that time and can afford to spend the day with us, we could use with some extra helpers. If so, please contact vpid651@outlook.com.
