The Town of Pouch Cove would like to update residents on the Towns Water Treatment Plant (WTP). As per the last update on November 22, Town staff completed a deep “Cleaning in Place” of the Multimedia Filters and Nano Filters. To get the plant back online additional measures were taken to clean by way of a longer cleaning period and a new cleaning chemical as directed by the general contractor of the WTP.
Infrastructure and Public Works staff plan to start the process of putting the plant back online on Monday December 4, if all goes as planned the water discoloured will lessen by mid week.
The Town continues to work with all parties involved on completing a long-term solution which is currently under review and involves an upgrade to the treatment portion of the WTP.
We would further like to remind residents that we remain under a boil water advisory and all water for consumption should be brought to a rigorous boil prior to use.
A Further update on the WTP will be provided by the end of next week, Friday December 8th .
