Charlie Lake sewer maintenance delayed until fall, says PRRD
Sewer maintenance in Charlie Lake has been delayed until the fall.

CHARLIE LAKE, B.C. — The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) said sewer maintenance in Charlie Lake has been delayed until the fall.
A notice on September 5th said the sewer valves were scheduled to be replaced during the summer, but “parts on back order” means it has had to be delayed.
The council approved the work during its board of directors meeting on July 17th.

S Young Enterprises, a Fort St. John-based contractor, will carry out the work. The contract was valued at $270,000, not including taxes.
The PRRD warned there could be “minor traffic disruptions” while it takes place.
This comes after a presentation from McElhanney, a consulting company with an office in Fort St. John, to the PRRD in 2023 recommended significant updates and repairs to the community’s sewer system.
At the time, the recommended changes were estimated to cost more than $28 million in total.
