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.
