Prince rupert population

The Boil Water Notice, put into place at the end of November, is now anticipated to last another weeks. As noted in a previous update, in December the City became aware that due to the installation of the new water supply main there is an isolated section of pipe where water has sat too long. This water has the potential to be reintroduced to the water supply.

In recent weeks the City and contractors working on the project have identified and commenced the work plan to address this issue. The City has been provided a completion date for the end of February for the project, and will work to reduce that timeframe wherever possible. Prince Rupert is a coastal port city—nestled into a mountain, surrounded by the Great Bear Rainforest, and just a boat ride away from where you can spot grizzly bears, wolves, orcas and humpbacks.

The nearby Skeena River and surrounding area is famous for fishing, kayaking, hiking and general adventuring. A stepping off point for the islands of Haida Gwaii and the lava beds of the Nass Valley, Prince Rupert was once point of trade and convergence for several area First Nations, who have over 10, plus years of history and culture here.
