The Village of Valemount is implementing a watering restriction, effective Sept. 2nd 2012. The recent Swift Creek emergency in June challenged the creek banks and also damaged a few of the Village water pumps, requiring that they be rebuilt. During this process, the village is relying on spare pumps. This morning there was a pump failure resulting in a compromised water supply.
The water supply continues to be treated and safe for drinking.
Please limit or avoid use of the following:
“¢ Showers
“¢ Toilet flushes
“¢ Laundry
“¢ Dishwashers
“¢ Watering lawns
The village thanks residents for their cooperation and assistance as they work to bring the Village of Valemount water system back to full capacity.
