02-392-76. Pg. 7. Caption: Two separate water main projects last Wednesday caused the water to most of the village, Alta Vista and Brio to be shut off from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Workmen from Coastal Mountain Excavations installed a water main connector (above) to service the soon-to-be-built waterslide while a crew from Kal Sprinklers laid a water main extension to the new Municipal Hall and Village North Lands. According to engineer Doug Wylie, the lack of water resulted from a combination of the two projects and Kal Sprinklers failing to open a valve. Usually, says Wylie, there are enough loops in the water system so that if one section of the water main is turned off, water can loop through other pipes to the affected areas.
