Water Main Break

Water main break disrupts service to North Shuswap community

Jan 26, 2021 | 9:01 AM

ANGLEMONT, B.C. — UPDATE: CSRD says the break has been repaired but it will take “some time” before the reservoir is refilled.

EARLIER: A major water main break has knocked out water service to a community in the North Shuswap.

According to the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) website, the water line broke in the community of Anglemont Tuesday morning (Jan. 26).

The CSRD says some users will be without water completely, with others finding their water pressure is reduced, as one of the system’s reservoirs has lower levels.

The district does not have an estimate as to when water service will be completely restored. Even once the main break is repaired, the reservoir will need to return to a normal level before pressure is back to normal.
