Water Quality Advisory for Radium
The Village of Radium Hot Springs is under a Water Quality Advisory.
“We have confirmed that our watershed experienced a debris torrent originating in the Irish Creek drainage, a subsidiary of Forester Creek. It appears that the debris torrent is subsiding and that water quality in Forester Creek is now improving,” the village reported in an update earlier this afternoon.
“We estimate that it will take several days, or more, before we see an improvement in the water quality reaching our water treatment plant. During this time period, we expect that our treated water will continue to have high levels of turbidity.
“We have increased the amount of chlorination in the system to counter this high turbidity. Users may detect elevated levels of chlorine in our water, which is necessary for us to maintain the required levels of disinfection for public health.
“Once the turbidity levels reaching our water treatment plant have subsided, we will begin flushing our water mains to remove any sediment that has collected in the pipes.
“At that point in time, we will lift the water quality advisory,” the village concluded.
