Heads up, Saanich Peninsula residents!
Don’t be alarmed if you notice a reduced water pressure over the next several days.
The Capital Regional District (CRD) is undertaking a critical repair operation following a water main leak on McTavish Road near East Saanich Road.
In a media release the CRD stated the repair is essential to ensure the continued reliability of the Saanich Peninsula water system.
The repair work will impact several communities, including Sidney, North Saanich, W̱SIḴEM (Tseycum First Nation), and BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin First Nation).
Residents residing in the aforementioned areas may experience reduced water pressure over the next several days as the repair progresses.
Those in the impacted area are being asked to reduce water use where possible over the next several days until the transmission main repair is complete.
During the repair, water flow to the north end of the Saanich Peninsula may be reduced and the water distribution systems in the impacted communities will rely on water stored in the McTavish, Dean Park, and Cloake Hill Reservoirs.
