July 2 - Boil Water Notice Downstream of 5340 Gainsberg Road

Please be advised that Island Health has advised that due to the water main break that occurred on July 1st, and the resulting loss of pressure and loss of water in the distribution system north of 5300 Block starting from the main break at 5340 Gainsberg Rd, I have issued a Boil Water Notice effective immediately, affecting all addresses downstream of 5340 Gainsberg Rd, including addresses on Crome Point Rd, Burne Rd and Deep Bay Drive.  As a result of this order, chlorine is being added to the water system that will affect the entire DBID water system.

Once the repairs are completed and the system is chlorinated, then two clean water samples 24 hours apart are taken and submitted for testing.  After receiving two clean samples the Health Authority will then determine when the Boil Water Notice is lifted.  DBID anticipates this occurring approximately late next week at the earliest.  Another email will be sent out when this is known, and any updates will be posted on the DBID website.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
