Visitors are being asked to bring their own bottled water and reduce the number of toilet flushes after the springs that produce the resort’s potable water supply slowed to record-low production
As Mount Washington Alpine Resort prepares to officially open on Friday, visitors are being asked to bring their own bottled water and reduce the number of toilet flushes amid a troubling water shortage.
With visitors to the mountain expected to increase as the holidays approach, Mount Washington said concerns about potential water shortages have prompted immediate measures to conserve the current supply. Mount Washington said the Island is experiencing the worst drought levels in more than 15 years. It noted the Puntledge River flow and the Comox Lake Reservoir level are at historic lows and, according to B.C. Hydro, the Campbell River reservoir storage is the lowest on record since 1984.
The resort said it is preparing to stockpile backup water supplies for emergency use and is testing alternative potable water sources. It is also preparing for potential boil-water advisories.
