Conserve water

The Westbank First Nation (WFN) has released a statement asking residents to conserve water until power can be restored.

"Long-term power outages such as this can be concerning for water distribution and treatment processes, as pump houses often have only short-term back-up generators in place," says Dawn McGrath, WFN Superintendent of Public Works. 

"While it is not a concern yet, we need to reduce consumption, in order to not overload the system, until power is restored."

BC Hydro is now estimating power may be restored at approximately 1 a.m.
