Over the last two weeks, the construction team has successfully completed the potable, raw and irrigation water line tie ins. Thank you to Fairmont Hot Springs Water and Sewer for working with us to complete this work as quicky and seamlessly as possible. The boil water notice issued following the tie in of the potable water has been rescinded and regular water consumption/use has resumed. Thank you to the community for your patience during the disruption.

Work during the next few weeks will focus on completing the creek diversion. Once the diversion has been commissioned, the team will begin preparing the foundation for the outlet structure. The outlet structure will be located downstream of the Cold Spring Creek dam and reservoir and will be aligned with the existing channel.

We will continue to provide updates here on the project page and via the Fairmont Area Email Group. As always, if you have questions, please contact Kara Zandbergen at kzandbergen@rdek.bc.ca or by phone in our Cranbrook office.
