2022 Change to Sewer, Garbage & Recycling invoicing |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Utility invoices are going to look different beginning July 2022. Up until now, Utilities invoices have only included user fees related to the supply of water. The biggest change property owners will notice is that Garbage, Recycling, and Sewer user fees will now be included on Utility invoices (charges were previously listed on Property Tax Notices). If you are not a District water customer, but own property in Lake Country, you will begin receiving quarterly Utility invoices beginning July 2022. Utility invoices for non-District Water customers will include Garbage, Recycling and Sewer user fees (if applicable), prorated over four quarters. If you currently subscribe to paperless Utility invoices – the service will be suspended beginning April 1, 2022 but will resume in 2023. |

Oyama Water System Outage & Boil Water Notice |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
May 13, 2022 - Boil Water Notice Rescinded; Water Quality Advisory now in place The District performed work on the watermain south of the Middle Bench/Todd Road intersection. The project was complete by May 13th, 2022. This project involved the shutdown of water to all properties within the highlighted boundary of the attached map from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM on Tuesday, May 10th, 2022. containers. Due to the large area affected by the work, it was necessary to issue a Boil Water Notice immediately following the shutdown. The Boil Water Notice remained in effect until laboratory testing confirmed that no risks to public health are present, and results have been reviewed by the Interior Health Authority. Once the water is turned back on, it is not uncommon for water to be discoloured due to air being introduced into the system. Discoloured water may result from the disturbance of lead in pipes or the introduction of air or debris during the works. The District recommends running outside taps and sink or bathtub faucets to flush your internal plumbing after water services have been reinstated.
