An estimated 13,000 residents in the Sooke area can turn on their taps like normal again after crews repaired a break in the water supply main, according to the Capital Regional District .The impacted water supply main led to the Sooke River Road Disinfection Facility, which services people living in various communities on southern Vancouver Island, including a local First Nation.
It says the break was identified in Sooke Potholes Regional Park, north of the water treatment plant, around 6 a.m. on Sept. 27. People in the area were urged to refrain from watering lawns, vehicles and boats, as well as outdoor surfaces like driveways, and to “strive for five-minute showers.”
