Water Turn On 2026
A few people have been asking about the water turn on date, short answer is it will not be ready for the Easter weekend.
Our water system is being prepared for re-pressurisation after the winter shut down. This is not as simple as it sounds. The system has been dry since October and re-pressurisation needs to be done slowly to limit blowing connections in the system resulting in a longer shutdown while repairs are made and to fully flush the water lines. We are also required by VIHA to submit water samples directly from our system to them and they must pass those tests before we can allow you all to use the water.
These samples have been taken but they will not be ready before the Easter weekend and likely not be ready until late next week at the earliest.
It is still almost zero overnight and if we re-pressurise too early we run a real risk that our lines could still freeze and result in damage that ultimately delays re-pressurisation again whilst repairs are made.
We are also governed by Nanaimo Regional District and they only allow our water to be opened up on the 15th of April.
Staff are working to bring our water online safely and on time. So please folks let our staff do their thing for a few short days.
Staff estimated that water MAY be on by approximately the 10th of April. This is estimated and in no way guaranteed, so please understand if this date slips by a few days.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
Regards.

Fundraising Committee
Looking for Volunteers
- helped form the committee to brainstorm and plan various events
- sold Purdy’s Chocolate bars (both privately and at the store)
- helped run the very popular paint nights
- made and sold pancakes
- donated time, money, baked goods, hot dogs and gently used treasures for our silent auction
- picked up, delivered and assembled the purchased playground equipment.
I am now asking for volunteers to help with this year’s fundraising which will be geared towards equipment for older children (aged 10 and up). If you are able to help by joining the committee (we meet via zoom once a month starting very soon) then please reach out to me. I would really appreciate the assistance.
If you don’t have time to join the committee but have ideas on what we could purchase or create for older children then please feel free to email me with your ideas.
Thank you for considering this,
