Gold Bridge Water System: Boil Water Advisory in Effect 

All users are advised to boil their water before using it for drinking, cooking, washing food, or brushing teeth, due to temporary transition to the back up water source (Sucker Creek).

The water can be made safe by boiling it for one minute at a rolling boil.  Boiled water should be stored in a clean container in the refrigerator.

Alternatively, bottled water can be used.

Gold Bridge water system users will be notified when the water is safe to drink. 

UPDATE: 6:30pm Friday, January 14, 2022

The watermain has now been repaired and water service has been restored.  We recommend flushing water before using. 

The damaged road surface will be patched as a temporary measure until asphalting can occur in the spring.  We will provide an update when additional information is available. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Ed Witwicki, SLRD Senior Utilities Supervisor at (604) 894 6371 ext 227.
