BC Hydro Outage – January 30th, 2024

Homeowners and Residents,

Please be aware, BC Hydro is experiencing a significant issue that will likely require the replacement of a power pole and equipment.  This outage also affects customers other than Hemlock Valley.

At this point we do not have an estimated timeline for it to be restored, but do anticipate this to be lengthy outage and power may not be restored until some point tomorrow.

BOIL WATER ADVISORY AND WATER RESTRICTIONS LIFTED

To Hemlock Utilities Customers

Please be aware that effective October 10th, 2023 at 10:30am Fraser Health has authorized the lifting of the Boil Water Advisory for Hemlock Valley.  It is recommended that you run any faucet used for drinking water for up to 2-3 minutes before using for drinking.

We are also happy to report that the water levels in our reservoir have been holding near the top of the reservoir.  Therefore, we are lifting the Water Restrictions.  We ask that everyone please still respect that we are located at the top of a hill that we have limited water resources.  The team will be watching levels and may reinstate the restrictions if necessary.

An update on the well project.  The volume test has been completed, confirming the well should be a reliable source of water that can assist in supplying water to the village.  Engineering, licensing and permits are in process.

 

Thank you for your support,

Your Hemlock Utilities Team
