Stage 4 Water Restrictions Hit Revelstoke as Heavy Rainfall Clouds Facility
Heavy rain left the Greely Water Treatment Plant turbid, and the city said Stage 4 rules are needed to preserve supply and system stability.
On Friday, The City of Revelstoke implemented Stage 4 water restrictions for all residents except those in Big Eddy following turbidity issues at the Greely Water Treatment Plant.
Heavy rainfall the previous night caused cloudy water at the Greely Water Treatment Plant, though The City advised the supply remains chlorinated and safe to drink.
Stage 4 is the most restrictive of Revelstoke's four-stage regulations, prohibiting sprinkling, vehicle washing, and pool filling while permitting only essential household use for cooking, drinking, and showering.
Staff are diligently working to restore normal operations at the Greely Water Treatment Plant while bylaw compliance officers enforce restrictions; The City requests public patience during the process.
Residents in Big Eddy remain exempt from restrictions, while The City selected a contractor to install 3.7K water meters to address future supply management challenges.
