OPEN HOUSE: Learn More About Victoria's Steel Water Main Project

I thought this looked interesting. Most people do not think about the underlying infrastructure of the city. We just assume it will be there and will work - magical thinking. Here is the notice from the city

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

An 8 km section of the City of Victoria’s water distribution system is being rehabilitated.
The majority of this work will be completed between December 2008 and August 2009.

The work will take place in Fernwood, Hillside/Quadra, and South Jubilee. At times,
the neighbourhoods of Oaklands and Rockland may be indirectly affected due to re-routed traffic.

Two open houses are planned for the public to learn more. Registration is not required.

Wednesday, November 26, 2008, 4 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Thursday, November 27, 2008, 4 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Fernwood Community Association
1923 Fernwood Road

At least one Community Association member expressed concern about this project. They questioned the health questions of using soft PVC plastic as a liner for potable water.
