Please be advised that Island Health has advised that due to the water main break that occurred on July 1^st, 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 Advisory 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.

Water Leak Repair Friday July 3^rd

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.  Residents affected: Crome Pt Rd, Marina, Ship and Shore Restaurant, and Burne Rd addresses between Gainsberg and the Marina.

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.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
