Noticing dirty water in the past couple of days Revelstoke?
In a statement to their website, the city said the issue is a result of low water levels in their reservoir, and that the situation will continue until at least Friday:
Residents throughout the city may be experiencing dirty water due to the increase in watering currently taking place that is draining the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) water tank. The TCH tank is running low and the City has had to turn on the Golf Course well to let the TCH tank catch up.
The city will be flushing the Columbia Park area water lines on Friday April 22, 2016 to clear the lines of any build up of debris. You may experience dirty water again at this time, the system will clear itself in a short time.
