Renewal of SOLE November 12, 2025

The City of Dawson Creek has extended its State of Local Emergency (SOLE) as of November 11, 2025 until November 25, 2025. The City's Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) team was activated in October alongside the original SOLE Declaration. The EOC team is currently working on obtaining permits from various agencies, including the Province of BC, to proceed with running a temporary overland water transfer from the Peace River (a more secure water source) to the City’s current water system.

The City of Dawson Creek remains in Stage 3 Water Conservation measures. Under Stage 3, hauling potable water for non-potable uses is strictly prohibited, and residents, businesses, and contractors are reminded to limit water consumption to essential needs only. These restrictions are necessary to ensure that our available water supply can continue to meet critical community demands, including drinking water, sanitation, and fire protection.
