For Immediate Release, Sept. 1, 2010
Ministry of Forests and Range
Sent on behalf of the BC Coastal Fire Centre
CAMPFIRES PERMITTED THROUGHOUT THE COASTAL FIRE CENTRE
PARKSVILLE – Effective at noon Sept. 1, 2010, campfires will be permitted throughout the Coastal Fire Centre due to a decreased risk of wildfires.
Although campfires, fireworks and Tiki torches are now permitted, open fires of any other description remain prohibited, including burning barrels.
The rescinding of the campfire ban applies to all BC Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have open fire bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. Please check with civic authorities for any restrictions before lighting a fire.
Campfires must not be larger than 0.5 meters wide or 0.5 meters tall. Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool such as a shovel, or at least eight litres of water nearby to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended, and make sure ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area.
Anyone found in violation of an open fire ban may be issued a ticket for $345. Should a wildfire occur as a result of recklessness, a person can be fined up to $1 million or spend three years in prison and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.
The Coastal Fire Centre is responsible for wildfire response for about 2.1 million hectares of land. Geographically, the centre covers all the area west of the height of land on the Coast Mountain range from the U.S./Canada border at Manning Park to Tweedsmuir Park in the north, the Sunshine Coast, the lower mainland, all of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.
To report a wildfire or unattended campfire please call *5555 on your cell or toll-free 1-800-663-5555. For more information on open fire prohibitions, area restrictions or for updates on current wildfire activity, visit www.bcwildfire.ca.

Sewage Treatment Plant Update |

Sent on behalf of Chuck Partridge, Public Works Manager,
Hello Everyone,
Just a quick note to let you know of the status of the Sewage Treatment Plant project, this project had been delayed due to awaiting parts. The parts have arrived and we have discovered that after removing the old media baffles to install the long awaited new baffles that the centre drive connection had been damaged as well. This could not be foreseen unless we went to the expense of removing the system twice.
That was the bad news, the good news is that the new centre drive will be in early next week and we will have the project all buttoned up by the 2nd week of September. I want to apologize for the delay on this project, however, that being said we will now have a system that will last years longer than expected.
We will have a proper maintenance program in place with documentation, testing and results going forward. All aspects of this project have been and will be, going forward, be within all government regulations. Lions Bay and Kelvin Grove will have a system that they can have complete faith in. At no time has solid waste ever left our system into the marine area of Howe Sound and any effluent has always gone out 600 feet off shore at a depth of 60 meters. The effluent pipe has been inspected by divers and is in a sound state.
Again, thank you all for your ongoing patience during this project. Should you have any questions please feel free to contact Chuck via email or call the Works line and we will get back to you.

The Village of Lions Bay E-Post
VILLAGE OF LIONS BAY WATER CONSERVATION PROCEDURES ARE NOW IN EFFECT
With the warmer weather, there has been an increase in the use of water which places a strain on our water supply.
We are now experiencing heavy water use in the Village and our reservoirs are unable to keep up. The Village is now introducing Water Conservation Procedures as of July 30 2010 and will be in effect until notified otherwise.
The heavy water usage has depleted the 400,000 gallon tank at the Harvey reservoir and it is unable to fill to keep up with demand. The reservoir needs to maintain at a certain level to preserve an adequate water supply in the event that the Lions Bay Fire Rescue Department is put to task to extinguish a fire in the Village.
These watering conservation procedures begin today and will make sure that the Village has enough drinking and fire fighting water in this high demand and low rainfall season.
Standing Water Conservation Procedures
Only water gardens or use lawn sprinklers between 4:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. or 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Even-numbered addresses, may water only on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and odd-numbered addresses may water only on Wednesdays and Sundays during the above hours.
Residential and most gardens, shrubs, trees and flower beds may only be watered by hand, by containers or drip irrigation within the approved times
Hosing or pressure washing of outdoor surfaces is only allowable for health, safety or preparing a surface for painting, sealing, or similar treatment;
Washing of vehicles or boats using any method is prohibited except for features required for safety (windows, lights, licenses), including at commercial washes.
Please turn off decorative fountains or water features that draw additional water as refilling of private, garden ponds, ornamental fountains, hot-tubs and swimming pools is prohibited,
Please note, we need to take this situation seriously to help preserve this valuable resource and for this to be successful, we need the cooperation of the entire community. We would like to thank you for your attention and be assured that the Village Municipal Services will notify you as soon as these Conservation Procedures can be lifted.
Thank you for your cooperation!
