We need to conserve our water

Please limit any watering to 1 hour per day

Community Library Survey

Part of this research includes learning what types of library services our community members would like to have access to.

PUBLIC NOTICE

A recent review of Village of Silverton operations found noncompliance with provincial water regulations and deficiencies in operations processes. The Village is currently working with Interior Health, and action has been taken to assess and maintain the safety of the Village water system. A thorough operations review will be initiated to ensure best practices are followed going forward and procedures are implemented.

What is being done?

This has been an ongoing issue but we want to ensure that the CAO and Council are working hard to rectify this situation by testing drinking water, reviewing the Village water testing process and working with Interior Health and other experts to ensure that the drinking water is safe and a proper testing system is put in place. Water samples have been submitted for testing and will have results soon.

We want to thank the Village of Nakusp for lending their expertise and facilitating processes with Interior Health to ensure proper testing procedures are implemented.

What do I need to do?

Presently, Interior Health has not recommended a boil water advisory. Silverton water is safe to drink and no action is needed for residents. We will provide an update as soon as possible if anything changes in the water quality.

Services and Staffing

Due to staff shortages and multiple safety audits being conducted, the Village has experienced some disruptions in services. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we look into potential staffing solutions to help streamline operations.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Village Office at 250-358-2472.
