HUDSON’S HOPE, B.C. — The District of Hudson’s Hope is asking residents to limit outdoor water usage to essential use only.

According to the district, the Hudson’s Hope Water Treatment Plant is running with temporary treatment systems.

Due to an uptick in water demand, forecasted high temperatures, and low waters level at the Peace River, the plant is facing some serious operational challenges.

The district is asking water users to limit outdoor watering to only what is needed.

After over a year of boil water notices and do not consume orders due to constant issues with the town’s water treatment plant, the district announced its plan to return to river-sourced water late in 2022, with McElhanney as its engineering consultant.

An open house held by the district outlined the plant and water sources plans, including the multi-phase plan of reverting to river water and the talks with BC Hydro.
