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.

PRRD Board of Variance

The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is accepting applications from interested residents wishing to serve on the PRRD Board of Variance.  The Regional Board will be appointing three members for a three-year term, ending in 2026.

The Board of Variance is an autonomous body with the ability to vary Zoning Bylaw regulations in situations where compliance with respect to the siting, dimension or size of a building or structure would cause a person undue hardship. It also deals with matters regarding additions and structural alterations to non-conforming buildings. The Board of Variance may not vary land use or density provisions, nor does it replace the Building Permit process.

The Board meets when applications are received, typically three to five times a year.  Electronic participation is available unless restricted by equipment or facility capability.  Members shall serve without remuneration but will be paid for reasonable and necessary expenses that arise directly out of the performance of their duties.

The Regional District is encouraging all interested residents to submit their applications to prrd.dc@prrd.bc.ca as soon as possible
