Castlegar urges water conservation during upgrades

The City of Castlegar is asking residents to lower their water use for four days this month.

City staff say upgrades to Mercer Celgar’s electrical system are planned for June 7-8 and June 16-17.

The city’s primary water supply line is dependent on the system.

“These routine upgrades will ensure a higher power system reliability,” says Fabian Glowalla, Mercer Celgar’s Manager of Energy and Innovation in a release.

”They also have corresponding benefits for the connected users, including the City’s primary water supply.”

City staff say it’s really important that residents lower their consumption during those times.
