The City of Port Alberni estimates that its water system will be fully operational again on Friday evening, about one day after a vehicle crash caused significant damage to it.
On Thursday, an unloaded logging truck contracted to Mosaic Forest Management crashed into the city's main waterline, damaging about 10 metres of pipe.
In a statement Friday evening, the city said repairs had been completed around 3 p.m., and water flow was restored within an hour of that. On Friday morning, Rob Dickinson, the city's director of engineering and public works, told reporters things had gone "as good as could expect" up to that point.
"This is a 60-year-old pipe that has never been hit before, so this is a very unique situation," he said.
