Update 1530

There has been a PARTIAL return of pressure to most of the system, but several homes at the base of Cudmore and perhaps some on Carlin still are without water.

There is a CRITICAL need for everyone to conserve water pending recovery of the reservoir. The reservoir needs both volume and height; without height there is not enough pressure to drive water into the taps of those that are closest to the reservoir. Pumps are now coming back on line, which will begin to recharge the reserve, but please conserve water throughout today and tomorrow.

Rick Gilleland in particular merits a round of thanks for his efforts. Kudos as well to North Saltspring Water for their efforts.

  2. Many thanks to Rick for his forethought in putting in the stops in the first place otherwise we would be in a right pickle today!
