July 1, 6:30 pm update - Water will be Shut Off Until at least Thursday afternoon

Please be advised that there is an unexpected water line break in the area down the hill from 5300 Gainsberg Rd. The water has been shut off in that area. The Water Operator and a contractor have assessed the situation, and a significant repair is necessary that will not be able to be started until tomorrow morning as a construction crew needs to be mobilized. This will affect properties from 5300 Gainsberg Rd down to and including Burne Rd, Crome Point Rd and Deep Bay Dr.

Once further information is known it will be posted on the website at www.dbid.ca. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Please be advised, that there is an active water leak near the intersection of Gainsberg Road and Burne Road. We have been aware of this leak for some time, but due to the archaeological sensitivity of the area, we have been following the proper channels to apply for a dig permit. The leak has worsened over the past few days, and we are now moving ahead with an emergency permit.

The repair will take place on Friday, July 3, 2026, and will involve a water service interruption for residents in the area. Work will commence at 8:00 AM, with the water likely being shut off shortly after. Depending on the extent of the repair required, the shutoff may last into the afternoon.

Information Summary
Date: July 3, 2026
Time: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM (approx.)
Residents affected: Chrome Pt Rd, Marina, Ship and Shore Restaurant, and Burne Rd addresses between Gainsberg and the Marina
