Construction work on the City of Cranbrook’s pressure reduction station number two is complete and went very well.  The water system is fully charged and water service has been restored.

Residents who needed to shut off their water valves into their homes can now turn them back on. They will have dirty water and are asked to run their cold water until it runs clear.
The boil water notice remains in effect.  Any water to be used for drinking, bathing or washing food MUST be boiled for at least one minute. I’ve attached again, the map of the affected area for the boil water notice.

City crews are using fire hydrants in the affected areas to help flush the dirty water from the water lines before water samples are taken and sent away for testing. The boil water notice will most likely extend into Thursday, possibly Friday morning.  The city will continue to monitor and share any updates as soon as they become available.

We appreciate the patience of all of our residents while this work is done.  We know it is an inconvenience, but are working as quickly as we can.
