Lab analysis for nitrate and nitrite will be required annually going forward. 5 year comprehensive chemical analysis is due in 2025. Annual report to water users to be completed by June 20,2024.

UV an filter recently serviced by water system company. Please adhere to their recommendations regarding more frequent replacement of filters. An error reading on the UV lamp means the water was not being disinfected. As the well is within 30m of the septic field. It is critical that the disinfection system is always operational. New distribution line installed since previous inspection (separate line to 2079). Any alteration to a water system design requires pre-approval by Island Health.
