20,000 people were told to conserve water after a logging truck crashed into the exposed water line Thursday morning.
Stage 3 water restrictions for 20,000 people in and around Port Alberni ended just before 5 p.m., Friday after emergency repairs were made to a damaged water line.
“It was a pretty significant accident of a logging truck going off the road through some of our barriers that protect this line and unfortunately right into the worst spot it could have gone into, a really critical part of our infrastructure for our community,” said Port Alberni Mayor Sharie Minions.However, there was significant damage to the water pipe.
The City normally has four days of water in storage but the rupture resulted in the loss of three days worth so the City put Stage 3 water restrictions in place to conserve what remained as repairs were made around the clock.
