Residents who were on the West 麻豆精选 Estates and Sunnyside/Pritchard systems have been switched over to the new Rose Valley Water Treatment Plant.
A media release from the City of West 麻豆精选 stated it completes the second of two phases connecting approximately 19,650 water system users in the city.
鈥淭his is excellent news for our community and we are extremely grateful to everyone who worked so hard on this priority project,鈥� said Mayor Gord Milsom.
Users on the former Rose Valley-Lakeview System were connected in November.
鈥淥ur council is also grateful to Interior Health, city staff, and contractors who have been working diligently since the McDougall Creek wildfire to ensure we could provide drinking water from the plant, that meets or exceeds provincial and federal standards, prior to the end of this year,鈥� Milsom added.
An official opening ceremony and community celebration are expected to take place in the spring.
