Boundary Lake water station reopening delayed
Over the past several days, the Peace River Regional District (PRRD) team, including operators, plumbers, electricians, and engineers have been on site at the Boundary Lake water station, testing the newly installed treatment system to ensure it operates as intended.
Unfortunately, it has been determined that the equipment is not yet ready to treat water as additional components are required to stabilize the water pressure coming in to the station. These parts have been ordered and until they arrive, installation and further testing cannot proceed. As a result, the reopening of the station will be delayed.
As soon as the new parts are installed, water samples will be collected and submitted to Northern Health. The station can only reopen after receiving passing sample results and formal approval from Northern Health.
At this time, the arrival date for the additional equipment is unconfirmed. The PRRD will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
We acknowledge that this delay is an inconvenience and are working towards opening the station as soon as possible.

PRRD transitions North Peace Regional Park to community park
On April 10, the Peace River Regional District (PRRD) Board voted to reclassify the North Peace Regional Park (NPRP) (also called the North Peace Fall Fairgrounds) to a community park. Community parks are intended for people living nearby, while regional parks are significant for everyone in the region. The annual Fall Fair will continue as usual.
The Board also approved the development of a new one-year agreement with the North Peace Fall Fair Society to continue operating the treasured community space.
“We made this change based on what the community told us they wanted,” said Board Chair, Leonard Hiebert. “The North Peace Fall Fair Society has taken great care of this park for decades. We’re happy to keep working with them while making sure the funding better matches who uses the park the most.”
