Until you become a senior you really don't know squat about water works advice.

Just a reminder that while the short public tours of Sooke Reservoir watershed is happening this week, there are more public tours - long and short - coming up through month of June. Details: https://www.crd.bc.c...watershed-tours Also, CRD just posted Request for Quotation to demolish Goldstream Lake caretaker cabin as well as a small storage shed at Japan Gulch: https://www.crd.bc.c...ter-supply-area The caretaker cabin looks interesting - historical sort of thing. Imagine spending a snowy winter there around 1910 or so?

CRD calling for air detection services for the three major reservoir watershed areas. Interesting that Scope of Work includes "Observations of other suspicious activities in the Patrol Area shall be reported also...." and the contract goes to March 2019. Seems that after the summer drought season ends mid-September, the aircraft patrols will be mostly looking at the "other suspicious activities" until the end of the contract next March. The flight route skirts the fenced/gated Sooke and Goldstream water supply areas but does a loop through the Leech perhaps because access can't be denied easily and those "other suspicious activities" are expected to be more probable.

^ Why does the aircraft have to enter and exit the area from the NE?

Probably an assumption that the aircraft will be departing from YYJ

Sounds like a job a decent drone(s) could do.

Get that modern thinking out of here!

From Victoria International Airport, flights of the patrol route with a Cessna 172 required approximately 50 - 60 minutes to complete. This included time required for taxiing to the designated runway, takeoff, landing and taxiing to the terminal. This estimate does not include consideration of time required for pre-flight preparation or post-flight activities for the aircraft and/or crews.
The majority of flights will take place along the designated patrol route during times of High (DMC 41 – 90 or greater) and Extreme Fire Danger Class as set in the schedule outlined in Section 2.4, however alternate routes and times may be specified following events such as lightning storms. In these instances, the CRD Representative will provide the Contractor with latitude and longitude coordinates and/or maps showing locations of possible lightning strikes and other details prior to the flight.
The Contractor will be expected to report all fires, smoke or other suspicious activity in the Patrol Area. Fires/smoke visible outside of the Patrol Area shall also be reported.
Following a report of a fire or other significant event or incident, the CRD Representative may request that the Contactor circle the area in order to provide updates on fire behavior and assist ground crews in locating the fire or incident. (page 16)

Looks like our reservoirs are in good shape and are still slightly higher than the 5 year average.

this has been an interesting series.
https://www.vicnews....wers-for-water/
at the end of the day if you live rural you might have to use well and rainwater or bulk delivery for some of your supply. that seems fine really.
it's time some places separated their supply systems. there is a very large difference between water quality needed between:
- drinking and cooking
- irrigation for lawns and gardens
- washing clothes
- baths and showers
- washing other domestic items other than dishes
- car washing

I think this contract proposal for a report on the CRD water supply might be more interesting than it appears at first glance.
Basically, the CRD is looking for experts to tell them how to improve the resilience and reliability of Sooke Lake drinking water reservoir system, in the face of vulnerabilities that are becoming evident but others that are not yet apparent.
Climate change may be a big factor as well as increases in water demand that may be causing some anxiety amongst CRD water planners. I'm just guessing that there may be more to this.

Listen to Green candidate at 59.0 https://youtu.be/Luuxu2sTLkE. Gord Baird - he is also the vice chair of CRD water supply and he states a one billion dollar PLUS upgrade is needed to address the threat higher water temps in our reservoir present among other water issues.

I was talking to friends who live part of the year in Arizona and they said their water costs a fraction of what it does here.
