Nelson, BC: Effective immediately, the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) rescinded the emergency water restrictions for the Balfour water system.
On September 10, 2025, emergency water restrictions were issued due to a controls issue with the lake pump that prevented delivery of water to the treatment facility.
The repairs have been completed, and water users can return to normal use. A reminder that Stage 1 Water Conservation Measures are in place until September 30.
The RDCK appreciates Balfour water users’ cooperation and patience during this time and apologizes for the inconvenience experienced.
