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.
