We wish to inform all residents and visitors that the District of Clearwater Office and ICBC/Motor Vehicle Office will be closed for the entire day on Thursday, October 31st, 2024. This temporary closure is necessary to allow BC Hydro to connect equipment related to the installation of our new generator systems.
We are pleased to share that these new generators are anticipated to be fully commissioned and operational by the end of December 2024. Once in place, the backup power system will support the District Office and Dutch Lake Community Centre, allowing for more effective Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) operations in case of power outages. Additionally, the generator installation for Well 3 in Reginald Small Park will provide essential power to maintain our reservoir and water system during interruptions.
In response to feedback from the Legion and community members, the generator at Reginald Small Park will be relocated from its initial position between the Well pump building and the Cenotaph to a spot closer to the river. This move ensures that the area around the Cenotaph remains a respectful and serene place for public gatherings and reflection.
