Water Leak Repair Complete
The water leak repair on Beattie Drive has been completed, and water service was restored to the affected properties today at approximately 12:00 pm.
The District of Hudson’s Hope remains under a precautionary Boil Water Notice. Residents should continue to follow Boil Water Notice instructions until the District receives confirmatory sampling results and is able to lift the notice.
Please continue to check the District’s website and Facebook page for updates.
Thank you for your patience while this repair was completed.
Revised – Wednesday Afternoon Water Shutoff Map
The District of Hudson’s Hope is investigating a significant leak in the town’s water system. The leak is resulting in the loss of up to 25% of the District’s treated water each day. To find the leak, District staff will need to temporarily shut off water to different parts of town. This allows staff to isolate sections of the system and narrow down where the leak is coming from. Each shutoff may last up to about four hours.
Because parts of the system may lose pressure during this work, the District has issued a precautionary, community-wide Boil Water Notice as of Tuesday, April 28th at 1pm. The Boil Water Notice will be lifted once water sampling has shown the water is safe to drink, which is expected to be between May 8 and 15, 2026.
Please note the update to the properties that will be shut off on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, from 1:00pm until 5:00pm, which are shown in the map below.

PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER ADVISORY
The District of Hudson’s Hope is issuing a precautionary Boil Water Notice for all users of the District water system, effective 1:00 p.m. today, Tuesday, April 28, 2026.
The District is investigating a significant water leak that is resulting in the loss of up to 25% of the District’s treated water each day. To help find the leak, District staff will need to temporarily isolate different sections of the water system. When sections of the system are isolated, some water lines may lose pressure.
When water pressure is lost, there is a risk that contaminants could enter the water system. For that reason, the Boil Water Notice is being issued as a precaution. This does not mean that contamination has been found.
Until the Boil Water Notice is lifted, all water used for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, making ice, or preparing infant formula should be brought to a rapid rolling boil for at least one minute, then cooled before use. Bottled water may also be used.
The Boil Water Notice will remain in effect until the leak investigation is complete and water sampling confirms that the water is safe to drink. The District will issue another notice once the Boil Water Notice can be lifted.
Residents are also asked to continue conserving water wherever possible. Please avoid lawn watering, limit vehicle washing, and reduce other non-essential water use while the investigation is underway.
If you notice water pooling, unusually wet areas, or a sudden drop in water pressure, please contact the District Office at 250-783-9901.
Updates will be posted on the District’s website, Facebook page, and through the Everbridge alert app.
The District appreciates everyone’s patience and cooperation as staff work to locate the leak and protect the water system. Please contact Desirée LeBlanc, Director of Public Works and Engineering, at 250-783-1455 or desiree@hudsonshope.ca if you have any questions.

DISTRICT-WIDE WATER LEAK INVESTIGATION
April 22, 2026
The District of Hudson’s Hope is investigating a significant water leak in the town’s water system, resulting in the loss of up to 25% of treated water each day. To find the leak, District staff will need to shut off water to different parts of town for short periods. This let’s staff separate sections of the system and narrow down where the leak is coming from. Each shutoff could last up to about four hours. This work is expected to start next week, between April 28 and May 1, 2026.
Because parts of the system may lose pressure during this work, the District will issue a precautionary Boil Water Notice. After water service is turned back on, District staff will flush the water lines and take water samples to confirm the drinking water is still safe. Once the District receives confirmation that the water is safe to drink, the Boil Water Notice will be removed.
Residents will be notified in advance when their area will be affected by a shutdown. Updates will be shared through public service announcements, the District’s Facebook page, the District’s website, hand delivered notices, and the Everbridge alert app. If you have not signed up for Everbridge, please do so to get updates quickly.
The District is also asking everyone to save water where possible. The Water Treatment Plant is running close to its maximum capacity. Please avoid or limit non-essential water use, such as:
- watering lawns
- washing vehicles
- other uses that do not need drinking water
Residents are also asked to help us find the leak by reporting any signs of a problem. If you notice water pooling, unusually wet areas, or lower water pressure, please contact the undersigned or call the District Office at 250-783-9901.
The District appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as staff work to locate the leak, protect the water system, and minimize service disruptions.
Sincerely,

WTP Project Update
April 16, 2026
Water Treatment Plant Update
Work to complete the permanent water treatment system at the District’s Water Treatment Plant is continuing.
Since the last update in January, the permanent clarifier has been delivered to site, new heating equipment has been installed, and the new chemical storage room has been constructed and finished. Significant repairs to the concrete floor inside the plant have also been completed, including replacement of a large portion of the slab. New piping and drains beneath the floor have been installed, and interior plumbing work has progressed.
The District is now in the process of awarding the remainder of the work required to complete the permanent treatment system.
Some of the upcoming work will require significant excavation outside the Water Treatment Plant building. This will include installation of new water and sewer service piping from the mains in the street to the building. Other exterior work will include structural upgrades to the exterior walls and foundation and the installation of in-ground concrete tanks.
Temporary disruptions to water service or precautionary boil water notices may be required during commissioning and final connections later this year. The District will provide advance notice of any planned service interruptions or boil water notices and will continue to keep the public informed as this work progresses.
If you have any questions about the project, please contact Desirée LeBlanc, Director of Public Works & Engineering, at 250-783-1455 or by email at desiree@hudsonshope.ca
