PORT RENFREW — The Vancouver Island community of Port Renfrew is facing critically low water levels in its reservoir due to a problem with its water main.
The Capital Regional District has issued a water conservation alert for the community about 100 kilometres west of Victoria as it relies on reservoir water only, which is already very low.
A leak was discovered Thursday in the water main and it needed to be shut down while crews do repairs.
The district says reservoir levels are dropping, with the possibility of reaching a critical low by Friday if conservation measures aren’t taken.
