Local State of Emergency declared by Prince Rupert City Council
A State of Local Emergency has been declared by Prince Rupert City Council in an emergency meeting held on Dec. 17, due to an escalation of water main breaks and water services breaks in the past 24 hours.
“Declaring a State of Local Emergency will enable the city to call on help from the Provincial government and request financial assistance to assist in paying for extraordinary costs. The city has activated its Emergency Operations Centre and updates will be provided to the community as available. “Calling the Local State of Emergency is a preparatory step to ensure that the City can respond to any additional water main and water service breaks during this time. To ensure adequate capacity is available if needed, the City is arranging for contractors to assist in the event our own crews are unable to respond to additional breaks, given City crews may be extended beyond their capacity,” the media statement reads.
