Snowpack

  • At lakes:

– Early May comparable to 2019 – Approximately 50% less then in 2018 – Most snow melted by now

  • Current state at higher elevation (1423 m):

– 2020 more snow than 2019 – 2020 a bit less snow than in 2018

  • Once snow melted in upper watershed, precipitation will

drive actual summer water supply

Note: cool and wet weather resulted in less outdoor use then in previous years between May 1 and June 15 Highlights from May 2020 leak resolution program:

  • South Pender Harbour - Private water line replaced, saving 65,000 litres per day.
  • Roberts Creek – Private water line leak located by SCRD staff and fixed by residents,

saving 43,000 litres per day.

  • Elphinstone – Private water line failure found quickly, saving 32,000 litres per day.

“I thank you for your help in this matter. Without the meter we likely would not have known that we had a problem until it became even worse than it was.” – Elphinstone resident
