Resolution

I have just heard from Rick Gilleland, and the crisis is, essentially, completed.
The leak (thank you Bob!) was identified very quickly, the system partially shut-down to accommodate repairs, repairs were effected, and the system is being brought back on line as we speak. Some small tasks remain for North Saltspring Water to do this evening, but the wells are now refilling the reservoir. Water conservation overnight tonight would be appreciated.

There is a chance that some sludge was jostled about during these events, so if you find your water has an adverse smell or taste or colour, you are encouraged to let your taps or toilets run for a few minutes. Rick did not see a need for a boil-water advisory.


Thank you one and all.
