Nelson, BC: Effective immediately, emergency water restrictions have been implemented for the Balfour Water System, in Electoral Area E. The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is requesting all water users limit water use to essential use only.
The emergency water restrictions have been implemented due to a controls issue with the lake pumps that is preventing delivery of water to the treatment plant.
Emergency water restrictions include the following essential uses only:
- Drinking water
- Food preparation
- Minimal laundry/sanitary
- NO irrigation permitted
The RDCK appreciates your cooperation in adhering to the above water use. Water users will be notified once restrictions are no longer required, or if an extension is necessary.
