Description
311
Critical Interruption of Treatment
The system is currently on a boil water notice due to UV failure.
Corrective Actions: The UV system must be repaired back to a condition where it can properly disinfect the water. Bacteriological results must consistently produce negative (zero total coliform and E. coli). Take the following actions: 1. Submit a construction permit or waiver application to the health protection office. The proposed plans must be approved by the public health engineer prior to commencing works. 2. Once approval has been granted, commence with the modifications. 3. Contact the area EHO once completed to schedule follow-up. This is to verify that the works were done in accordance to approved plans. 4. Continue with scheduled sampling. Upon successful repair of UV, at least two bacteriological samples spaced at least 24 hours apart, must produce a negative total coliform and E. coli result. Timeline: Timeline for repair has not yet been set. Timeline updated: December 28, 2026.
314
Non-Critical Improper maintenance of distribution system
No operator on-site with small water systems training. The water supplier must designate a water operator who has training in water system operations.
Corrective Actions: Identify this person and complete the smaller water systems training (e.g., BCWWA's Small Water System course).
316
Non-Critical Source unprotected and subject to contamination
The wellhead does not have a proper cap/cover. It is covered by a tarp and a roof segment. There's no watertight seal which can lead to the infiltration or pests and surface water.
Corrective Actions: Repair the wellhead to provide a secure, vermin proof, watertight cap or cover. Timeline updated: December 28, 2026.
316
Non-Critical Source unprotected and subject to contamination
The well does not have adequate source protection features, such as a clear enclosure or signage. The well is readily accessible to the public and wildlife, which may increase the risk of contamination of the water source.
Corrective Actions: Provide appropriate source protection measures to restrict access to the wellhead and reduce the potential for contamination.
318
Non-Critical Inadequate Microbiological Analysis data
Bacteriological sampling does not meet the four minimum samples monthly. Number of samples averages between 2-3 samples monthly.
Corrective Actions: New sampling site created after discussion with operator. Ensure to submit two samples biweekly to meet the four required monthly. Existing sampling schedule: 1. Sites 1 and 9 generates requisitions biweekly. 2. Raw/crude water sampling is monthly. Note: If there's any changes to the sampling schedule, connect with area EHO.
322
Non-Critical Emergency Response Plan
An emergency response plan has been submitted in 2012, but this information is outdated. the drought component is also not submitted.
Corrective Actions: Take the following actions: 1. Draft and submit an Emergency Response Plan to the area EHO. Templates will be emailed to the operator. Review the provincial ERP guideline to ensure all required components are addressed. 2. Update the ERP and review it annually. Timeline updated: December 28, 2026.
323
Non-Critical Other
The annual report for 2025 was not submitted before June 30.
Corrective Actions: Take the following actions: 1. Complete the 2025 annual report and submit it to our office. 2. Provide a copy to all water users. 3. Ensure all annual reports, moving forward, are completed within six months of the year's end (June 30).
