The Sunshine Coast Regional District is working to secure the water supply for users of its main Chapman reservoir
British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast Regional District says continued “uncertainty” about its water supply means it will seek an extension of the state of local emergency declared last month.
The statement says the extended drought switched to snowfall in just two weeks, preventing autumn rains from fully recharging the watershed or filling the Chapman Lake reservoir, which hasn’t risen this month and now sits under nearly a metre of snow. The emergency declaration allows local governments to restrict water use by non-essential commercial operations.
