Water Restrictions Notice Effective Jan 29, 2024
The Alberta Central East Water Corporation has notified the Town of water restrictions being applied to the Town of Vermilion effective January 29, 2024, until further notice. Early indications are that the restriction could be lifted in five days. All connected municipalities are required to revert to a Level B water restriction during this time. The reduction is due to a distribution pump failure at EPCOR.
Level B Restrictions:
- Hydrant flushing
- Sewer line flushing
- Street cleaning
- Fleet washing
- Bulk Water Station
- Third-party water sales are restricted to human consumption only
- All fire training involving use of municipal water and hydrants
- Spray park operations
- Filling Lakeland pool
- Park sprinkler systems
- Watering truck
- Maintenance of stadium condenser
- Voluntary water reduction by residents, i.e. watering grass, filling pools, hot tubs, or recreation trailers, washing cars/houses/driveways.
We are currently down to 50% water flow received to the town; we will be monitoring the water levels in our reservoirs closely and may adjust accordingly going forward.
Thank you for support and patience. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Transportation & Utilities Department at 780-581-2415.
