Many different questions have been raised, including how improvement districts should handle upcoming AGMs and/or elections. Thank you for your patience while we developed guidance on how to approach this complex and rapidly-evolving situation. The Local Government Act and improvement district letters patent require improvement districts to hold AGMs and elections each year, typically between January 1st to May 1st.

We value your understanding and patience when the advisory or notice is in place, and want you to know we are doing everything we can to improve the situation. Our number one priority is to ensure that our community has safe, potable water. Please note that a Water Quality Advisory is not a Boil Water Notice; it is more of a precautionary boil. The advisory happens when the amount of organics is higher than average; turbidity values are often higher in spring. The increase in turbidity can be due to a number of factors (ie algae growth, heavy rainfall, etc). When a Boil Water Notice is in effect, please follow these guidelines: What to do During a Boil Water Notice The following general precautions should be followed when there is a boil water notice in effect. Note: precautions may vary depending on the circumstances of the notice. How to boil tap water Tap water should be boiled for one minute.

[ā¦]local authorities responsible for providingĀ local servicesĀ for the benefit of the residents in a community. They vary considerably in size from small subdivisions to larger communities and are usually located in rural areas of the province. Improvement districts are focused on providingĀ local servicesĀ such as water, fire protection, street lighting, dyking, drainage, garbage collection and parks, rather thanĀ general governanceĀ orĀ land use planning. Typically an improvement district provides one or two services. These services areĀ financedĀ by taxation or user fees. Every improvement district isĀ governedĀ by a board of elected trustees (elected by area property owners) one of whom acts as chair. The powers exercised by the trustees (to enact and enforce its regulations and charges, to assess and collect taxes, to acquire, hold and dispose of lands, to borrow money and to expropriate lands) flow from the improvement districtās bylaws, theĀ Local Government ActĀ and other applicable provincial statutes. Information on these topics can be found in theĀ Improvement District Manual. Most improvement districts are located within the boundary of aĀ regional district, yet they are independent of each other. Others are located insideĀ municipalities. Overlaps in jurisdiction can and do occur, so co-ordination between the two is essential. Regional districts can apply on behalf of improvement districts forĀ infrastructure planningĀ and capitalĀ grants [ā¦]
