Dear Homeowners,

The leak has been found and water is being restored to all homes in the District by approximately 10am today.  Please refrain from using water for the next 30 minutes to allow pressure to build up in the lines.  There may be air flow and sediment in the water when you first turn the taps on but should clear fairly quickly.

Many thanks to the Operations Team for working so hard to get this solved.  Many thanks to the volunteers who assisted.  Many thanks for your patience.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION UPDATE:

Houses on Mariners Way 212 through 244 continue to have no water as well as addresses on Callaghan Crescent.  Water will remain off until tomorrow morning.

Service has been restored to Spinnaker West and Mariners West and should have water by 5pm today if not already.  Please expect there to be airflow and sediment in your taps as the water lines fill. 

Thursday, May 14, 2026 ( tomorrow ), Pacific Leak Locators will be on site at 7am to scope the water mains and connections that we are not able to access manually to locate the leak on Mariners Way.  Water will be turned on to the affected area with the exception of Callaghan Crescent to aid in leak detection. Water pressure in elevated areas on Mariners Way West and Spinnaker Drive West will likely lose water pressure and possibly have no water during this time.

Once the leak is located, water for houses on Mariners Way 212 through 244 will be turned off again so repairs can be completed.  At this time, water pressure will slowly be restored to Mariners Way West and Spinnaker Drive West.  

ALL RESIDENTS:

Please conserve as much water as you can tomorrow as the less pressure in the lines, the more difficult and time consuming it will be to locate the leak. 

We will send an update tomorrow late morning when we have more information to share.

Dear Homeowners,

Residents on Mariners Way from 208 through 244, all residents on Callaghan Crescent and Quadrant Road:

Water supply to your area will be TURNED OFF until at least end of day Thursday. Unfortunately, there will not be any further rotations. The leak is too severe to leave water on for any period of time and the losses are draining water pressure from other areas in the District.

All other residents:

If you are experiencing low or no water pressure, particularly at higher elevations such as Spinnaker Drive, it will be restored as pressure slowly builds back up in the lines. We are unsure how long this will take.

What’s next?

The Operations Team is continuing to work and have isolated the leak to a specific zone in the District and those properties have been inspected. Pacific Leak Locators will be coming to assist but the earliest day they can come is on Thursday May 14 on the 7am ferry. We will be scoping the main lines including under road systems to try and locate the source of the problem.

*****Important To Note*****

All residents could have disrupted service or low water pressure on Thursday May 14 and possibly Friday May 15 if the work continues or until the repair is complete.

If / when we have any more information, we will send an additional update.

Washrooms for those affected are available at Dinner Bay Park and the Community Library in town.

The AGM is the time when new trustees are elected, either by vote or acclamation. This year we have two trustees whose terms are ending so we are seeking at least two candidates for our Board of Trustees. Serving as an Improvement District Trustee is an important role in rural community governance, and while it is a commitment, it’s also very rewarding to be an important part of providing a vital community service. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a trustee, or know someone that you would like to nominate, please contact us by email vpid651@outlook.com.

Nominations must be received by 4:00pm on Friday, April 3^rd, 2026. Nominations will not be received from the floor at the Annual General Meeting.
