Be ready to have no water in Union Bay, as its water system will shut down in late-May.
The Comox Valley Regional District’s water team will perform a system shutdown to most homes in Union Bay to mitigate future service interruptions.
This will affect two zones, with the first one stretching from the Buckley Bay ferry terminal to Mystery Beach Road, and the second stretching throughout several sections of Island Highway South to Kilmarnock.
The district says for Zone 1, water will be completely shut off, while Zone 2 gets some access to water.
“For zones 1 and 2, make sure you have enough drinking water on hand before 9:00 pm for any basic needs during this disruption,” said the regional district.
“Do not shower, water plants, run the dishwasher, do laundry, or use any water during the shutdown period. Water stored in a bathtub may be used to replenish water in toilet tanks. Turn off power to any electric hot water tanks (if you have one), and please use caution when driving past construction crews on McLeod Road.”
The shutdown will run from 9:00 p.m. on May 29 to 6:00 a.m. May 30.
They thank you for your patience while they work.
