The North Salt Spring Waterworks District is flushing water mains on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, on March 17, 2026, which may lead to temporary water issues for local residents. The maintenance work is happening between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm on Mountain Park Drive and throughout the Southey Point area.
Residents in these neighbourhoods might notice short periods with no water service, low water pressure, or discolouration. These changes are expected to be temporary while crews work on the system to ensure the community has high-quality drinking water.
The work on Mountain Park Drive will affect all homes on that road, while the Southey Point cleaning covers several streets. Impacted areas include Arbutus Road, Dogwood Lane, McGill Road, Simson Road, Southey Point Road, and portions of North End Road and Sunset Drive.
This cleaning process is a standard part of maintaining local infrastructure and helps remove sediment from the pipes. The district currently supplies water to more than 5,500 year-round residents across Salt Spring Island.
