WATER MAIN FLUSHING PROGRAM
Water mains are flushed annually in the spring to remove pipe sediment and for water quality.
During flushing, water pressure may reduce and/or the water may be discoloured. This will be
remedied by turning on a cold water tap and letting it run a few minutes until it clears.
SPRING RUNOFF
With spring runoff underway, the City reminds residents to use common sense around rising creeks
and drain courses. Please monitor children playing by fast-flowing waterways. Please report
blockages due to branches and other debris to the Operations Department at (250)352-8238.
LIONS PARK - SPRAY PARK
The Spray Park will be open seven (7) days a week starting on Saturday, May 21 until Wednesday,
September 28, 2016 from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm.
NELSON HYDRO
Nelson Hydro crews will be pruning tree branches that are too close to a utility line for the
following reasons: public safety, reducing tree-related power outages and to meet industry
standards that require a clearing of 5 meters from 60,000 volt lines, 3 meters from 25,000 volt lines
and 1 meter from 750 volt (or less) lines and communication lines (telephone and cable). Where
practical, residents will be notified when tree pruning is planned for a neighbourhood. For more
information, call 250-352-8240.

• A Building Permit allows for an independent review by a30third31party for the homeowner to
UBCM 2016 - VICTORIA
help ensure that work is being done correctly.
Infractions can be dangerous to live with,
costly to fix, and result in legal ramifications or charges on your title.
• Insurance companies are interested because they know that a well-built house means less
claims, and they may not cover claims that arise as a result of either faulty or illegal
construction.
• Energy consumption affects us all, and the Building Code sets minimum standards that will
reduce energy costs to a homeowner and to our environment.
• Thinking of selling? Future legal transactions of the property (e.g. mortgage renewal,
selling, etc.) may be significantly impacted by ‘illegal’ construction work.
To find out if your project needs a permit contact Development Services at 250-352-8260 or
[email protected]. We are here to answer any questions you may have regarding building
permits and other related issues.
