Peace River Regional District launches design study for Spencer Tuck Regional Park
Moberly Lake, B.C. – The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) has started a design study to identify and plan for enhancements to safety, accessibility and overall appeal of Spencer Tuck Regional Park.
The study will examine challenges such as traffic flow, parking, washrooms and boat launch access. It will also evaluate whether the boat launch needs repairs or replacement. After completing the study, a plan will be developed to address the current and future needs of park visitors and other interest groups.
Community feedback is an important aspect of this study, and the PRRD will gather input through a survey, open houses—both in-person and virtual—and meetings with interest groups. More information about the November open houses will be announced in the coming weeks. Residents and visitors are encouraged to participate in this engagement and share their ideas by visiting the project page at haveyoursay.prrd.bc.ca/stpds.
Boundary Lake Water Station closure (UPDATE 1)
UPDATE, October 8, 2024
The Boundary Lake Water Station at 1105 Cecil Lake Road in Electoral Area B remains closed until further notice. The station has been closed since August 12, 2024, due to equipment failure affecting water quality. While initial repairs have been completed, additional damaged parts were discovered and are being shipped for replacement. The station will reopen once these parts are installed.
Meanwhile, residents can use the Feye Spring Water Station at 1863 Imperial Avenue in Clayhurst, BC.
For questions, contact the Environmental Services Department at environmental.services@prrd.bc.ca or 250-784-3200. We thank you for your patience while this work is completed.
The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) has closed the Boundary Lake Water Station, located at 1105 Cecil Lake Road in Electoral Area B. The water station will be out of service until further notice. The closure began on Monday, August 12, 2024, after a routine inspection raised concerns about raw water quality.
Investigation has identified an equipment failure on the supplier’s side of the system as the cause of the compromised water quality. The supplier is currently repairing the failure point. While this event has affected the water station, the PRRD confirms that the damage poses no threat to public safety. However, it has impacted the treatment system’s functionality.
