Eagle Cliff water system: Stage 3 water conservation
July 10 - 31, 2020
Due to a continuous decrease of the reservoir’s water level, it is strongly recommended that all Eagle Cliff Water Users follow Stage 3 of the Water Conservation Guidelines. The reservoir level is lower than it should be at this time of year and despite recent continuous days of rainfall, no increase was observed. Staff are working on the implementation of an emergency water supply for the summer months and will continue to observe water levels. Meanwhile, water conservation efforts may help mitigate the lower level.

Water Conditions
Drinking water and persons with compromised immune systems
January 1 - December 31, 2020
The Provincial Health Officer advises all British Columbians with compromised immune systems (such as HIV, organ or bone transplants, chemotherapy or medications that suppress the immune system) to avoid drinking water from any surface water or ground water that is under the influence of surface water, unless it has been boiled, filtered, distilled or treated with UV. Bowen Island and other areas in British Columbia use surface water sources (lakes, rivers, streams). This is not a general boil-water advisory for the general public, but rather is directed only at persons with compromised immune systems. If in doubt about your immune system status, please discuss this further with your physician.
