Please be advised that Athabasca County will be commencing its annual flushing and valve exercise program beginning next week on the following dates and areas:
◾Colinton: Wednesday October 18th from 9:00am-3:30pm
◾Bison Ridge Estates: Wednesday October 18th from 9:00am-3:30pm
◾Grassland: Thursday October 19th from 9:00am-3:30pm
◾Wandering River: Friday October 20th from 9:00am-3:30pm
During and a few hours after this process, water users of these areas might encounter lower water pressure, turbidity (cloudiness) & odor. Please notify Athabasca County if any of these conditions remain two days after your area’s flushing & valve exercise.
Please be advised that PRIOR to this system maintenance, you should obtain and store an amount of water that you feel will suffice for your own needs as water supply pressure may fluctuate for the duration of this period.
Upon completion of this flushing period, you may need to flush the taps within your own homes or businesses to clear any cloudiness from within the waterlines which may occur due to the flushing.
Valve exercise and flushing of the potable water systems is a compulsory practice to ensure the safety of all users. This is necessary as part of the licensing agreement of our water system.
