The District of Invermere began flushing its community water system September 5 and work will proceed for the next six weeks to October 10.

This program, carried out twice yearly, is necessary to maintain the quality of our water supply, the district explained.

There may be some short interruptions in the water service and temporary discolouration

of water as a result of the sediment and organic materials that are being flushed from the water mains.

During this period, disinfection by chlorination will be continued. To assist the Public Works Department during the flushing operation, users are advised that if they are experiencing persistent discolouration or odour problems with the water, to immediately notify the municipal office and explain the nature of the problem.

The district apologizes for any inconveniences caused by this operation.
