Victoria Beach Water Treatment Plant and the Albert Beach Pump House
When the water system is turned on in May, there is an immediate two-day boil water advisory in place until the water is tested and we receive the results. It may take a few days to receive these initial results because other treatment plants in the province are also going through their start-up procedures. ODW would immediately issue a boil water advisory if the result comes back as a failure, and it would continue until it passes twice within 24 hours. The testing process throughout the summer is as follows:
Daily
• Water is checked every day including weekends
• Private water systems in the area that are not under our jurisdiction are not included
• Tests include chlorine, turbidity, PH, and chemicals are adjusted to meet standards
• This does not affect quality of water
• Visual daily test for algae and if algae is visible, micro-cystin tests are completed
• All standards are adhered to daily
Bi-weekly
• As per RMVB license, water must be tested bi-weekly and submitted to ALS
• The sample taps for water testing are at the following locations:
1. Water Treatment Plant
2. Hampton Road
3. David Road
4. Fire hall
5. Albert Beach Pumphouse
6. Rue Girard
• ODW advises of boil water advisories
