UPDATE PUBLIC NOTICE – Gwaing River and River Mouth Remain Closed

The Gwaing River and River Mouth remain closed following a sewer spill into the river that was caused by a damaged Pipeline earlier this week. The damaged pipeline and electrical lines that were damaged by a service provider were subsequently repaired and are operational.

However, as a precautionary measure, the George Municipality’s Civil Engineering Department is currently conducting water quality tests over the next few weeks until it can be confirmed that the river`s water quality meets the minimum requirements.

Until then the river remains closed.
