Water Break Repair

**UPDATE** 2:00 p.m. Repairs are complete and water has been restored. Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory (PDWA) is in effect until further notice. Click HERE to view the PDWA.

**UPDATE** 1:15 p.m. Repairs are almost complete and water should be restored within an hour or so. Public Works is out delivering the Precautionary Drinking Water Advisories to all houses that were affected.

Repairs began this morning on the water break. An estimated timeframe for when water will be resumed is unknown. Of course we always hope for the best & shortest period of time without water, however, the priority is ensuring the break gets repaired properly without any further damage.
Once the repair is completed and water turned back on all affected residents will be on a Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory. These notices will be delivered to each affected house before water is turned back on.
Residents who are affected may fill up water jugs at the Water Treatment Plant (blue building in shop yard). The tap is located to the left of the door on the west wall.
We thank everyone for their patience!

Hydrant Flushing 

The Village crew flushes hydrants twice per year (spring & fall). The fall flushing is scheduled for Wednesday, October 2nd & Thursday, October 3rd.

Hydrant flushing is the quick release of water from fire hydrants – a controlled procedure that is vital to the general maintenance of our water distribution system, and ensures you have access to clean, safe drinking water. It also ensures that hydrants are operating effectively in case of an emergency.

Residents may experience reduced water pressure or temporary discoloration of the water while the work is being conducted. This rust-coloured appearance is the iron & mineral deposits in the water that get stirred up. This cloudy or tinted water doesn’t pose any health risk, but it may stain laundry. Please limit water use during the hours of 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and run your taps after the hydrant flushing has subsided in your area to help wash away any residual particles that may have entered your water line – run water until it runs clear.

We thank you for your patience & cooperation while we work to keep our water supply safe & reliable!

As summer break comes to an end and everyone is gearing up for another exciting school year, remember to watch out for excited children!

Reduce your speed, pay attention and obey traffic laws as excited children may unexpectedly step into the roadway without checking for oncoming traffic.

Stop when you see a school bus with red flashing lights and its stop arm out. It is imperative drivers follow the law and proceed with caution around school buses. This not only keeps our children safe, it also supports our bus drivers as they do the important job of transporting students to and from school safely each day.

Saying Goodbye to our Summer Workers!

Every summer our Village gets a breath of fresh air & new life as students arrive bounding with energy & ready to work. This summer was no different as we welcomed a crew of bright & talented summer workers. They each brought their enthusiasm and dedication, and we appreciated all their hard work as they quickly became part of the BV family!

Heidi, Henry and Jacob worked full time for the summer & dedicated themselves to mowing, whipping, tree trimming and so much more! Ben & Adam dedicated part time hours during July working hard removing weeds at the beach, office & other park spaces, helping our Village continue to look beautiful.
As summer winds down, we say farewell as this eager and hard-working crew return to school to continue to sharpen their skills & fill their tool boxes. Our hope is that their experiences here at the Village were good ones & that we have helped to broaden their knowledge & shape their future career paths. Maybe we will see them again next summer, or maybe we will follow their careers as they take on the world!

We wish them the best of luck as they head back to school Tuesday. Heidi has returned to Calgary for her 2nd year of Psychology, and Henry, Jacob, Adam & Ben will be heading back to Lumsden High School.

As we say goodbye to the last of our summer staff today, we would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to these individuals for their contributions to the Village & to the Canada Summer Jobs for contributing funding to make these employment opportunities possible, as well as to our temporary staff member Phil, and full time crew Joel & Damon!

The Village has contacted Public Health regarding the water quality of beaches. Public Health advised that they test only at Regina Beach and would suggest that if attending other beaches, prior to entering the water, assess the water, if it appears "muddy" "green with excessive algae" or if it has a strong odor don't enter the water. Small children that may swallow water or immunocompromised people should err on the side of caution and not enter until the advisory has lifted. Public Health will be testing the water at Regina Beach again today and will update their website with the results. The status of beaches can be found on the Healthy Beaches page by clicking HERE.

Or you can contact public health office at 306-766-7755 for further information.

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of our CAO, Krista Manz.

Krista was an integral part of the Village team. Seven years ago when she started she quickly became a loyal, dedicated, and valued employee. She wasn’t just an employee though…she was part of the Buena Vista family and a dear friend.

We will long remember Krista’s contributions to the Village, friendship and contagious laugh. She leaves big shoes to fill and gaping holes in our hearts. We would like to wish her family peace to bring them comfort, courage to help them face the days ahead, and loving memories to forever hold in their hearts.

Krista Dawn Manz Obituary

Please note that the Village Office will be closed to the public for the remainder of the week.

Online payments, payments dropped in the mail slot, and emails will all still be accepted.

A residents’ cat, and beloved pet, is recovering after being found caught in an archaic leg-hold trap near their backyard in Buena Vista. Definitely this is a concern, and we want all residents to be aware of the situation, as well as to be aware that

IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE ANY TYPE OF LIVE TRAP & CONSIDERED
A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

The only time trapping is permitted is with a license, however, it is not permitted in Buena Vista so a license would not be granted for trapping within the Village. The trap has since been removed, and Conservation Officers notified who have been out to investigate.

**UPDATE: LORAAS HAS RESCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY, MARCH 5**

Please note that Loraas has just contacted the office and they will not be coming for garbage pick up today. Once they contact us with a rescheduled date we will post.

You will need to follow the instructions in the email sent from our office on January 8 titled "All-New Customer Portal - Registration Required" This email provides you with the link to the portal and your customer number which you will need to register. After you follow these steps you will be able to view your bill.Please feel free to contact our office if you need some assistance.

Message from the South Shore Cat Rescue

"PSA: please collar your cats (quick release collar or harness so they don't choke themselves!) if you allow them outside! (if you let them outside on purpose of course) This will allow us to immediately release them if the get caught up in one of our traps set for our TNR dudes!"

Please note that this is also a requirement within the Village under the new Animal Control Bylaw. "Cats are exempt from licensing however, the owner, possessor or harbourer shall cause that animal to wear a collar to which an identification tag shall be attached whenever the cat is off the premises of the owner."Please familiarize yourself with the bylaw by clicking HERE.

Visit the South Shore Cat Rescue Facebook Page by clicking HERE.

Council adopted an all new Animal Control Bylaw at their Council meeting on January 23.

This new bylaw has changed the dog license fee from yearly to a lifetime license.

The dog license fees are as follows:

• $25 Lifetime license with proof of spay or neuter

• $50 Lifetime license not spayed or neutered

Please renew the license of your dog within 30 days of this notice. If you do not comply, we may need to continue with enforcement action. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

You may obtain your dog license by visiting us at the Village Office…..we would be happy to see your fur-baby when you come to license them too!

Dog licensing has always been & continues to be a requirement under this new Bylaw. It is also an essential part of responsible pet ownership. A license tells everyone that your pet is not a homeless stray & helps your missing pet be able to be returned to you as soon as possible. With a license, you are eligible for one “Get Out of Jail Free” if your dog ends up out and impounded.

Please read the new bylaw & familiarize yourself with the rules in regard to animals by clicking HERE.
