This is Davin Wilson. He’s the City’s Superintendent of Waterworks. In March of 2020 the BC Public Health Officer asked us all to stay home as much as possible. The normal ebb and flow of water use in the City changed overnight. Davin and his team took immediate steps to ensure the City had trained staff to monitor and manage the City’s network of 435 kilometers of water lines and all reservoirs 24/7 for citizens who were staying home. Davin is just one of the City’s Operations staff who stayed on the front lines to make sure our community had the essential services needed during the public health emergency. When our citizens turn the tap, the water flows.
