Update, August 11, 2021 14:00:
The City of Enderby drinking water system has returned to its normal state, with both sources now operating. The inspection and repair of the transfer well problem was successful.
The public can return to the normal irrigation and water conservation measures.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance as we worked to resolve this problem.
The City of Enderby is requiring water customers not to irrigate on the morning of Wednesday, August 11 (hand watering is still acceptable) and to try to reduce non-essential water use throughout the rest of the day, such as pressure washing.
This is due to a need to take the Water Treatment Plant temporarily offline to complete an inspection of a transfer well between the river water intake and the Water Treatment Plant. While the Water Treatment Plant is offline, the City will be solely reliant upon its Shuswap Well source, which has a lower production rate.
The City is requiring these conservation measures to ensure that reservoir levels remain stable while the work is occurring, so that adequate storage for fireflows and essential purposes remains available.
Drinking water quality and treatment processes remain the same.
An update on water system status will be posted at 2:30pm on Wednesday, August 11, 2021.
