Residents of Williams Lake can go back to normal use of municipal water, but not be excessive, said the City’s director of municipal services Gary Muraca Thursday.
Water use has been restricted after flooding in the river valley compromised the City’s sewer system two weeks ago rupturing a sewer line.
“It is less imperative that people conserve water but the new pump we installed has a restriction to the volume it can pump,” Muraca noted referring to the temporary pump installed Wednesday.
The temporary pump has stopped the discharge of untreated sewage.
Crews are continuing with pipe repairs and armouring slopes.
