The City of Castlegar has announced a water interruption that will begin Wednesday, Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. and end Thursday, Nov. 2 at 6 a.m.

The water will be shut off while the City of Castlegar performs water system maintenance work.

“This planned maintenance work is taking place to ensure the reliability of the City’s water system,” reads the city’s press release.
