MEMO: Upcoming Hot Water Shut Off in Primrose Gardens

/in ,

Dear Residents of Primrose Gardens,

We want to inform you about some upcoming scheduled maintenance in the building.

The hot water will be shut off in Primrose Gardens on July 20, 21, and 22 from 8:00am – 4:00pm

During this time cold water will still be available so toilets and sinks will work as usual.  Cold water will be safe to drink. The hot water will be turned back on each evening and available for showers, laundry, dishes etc.

Because we will not be able to run the commercial dishwasher in the main kitchen lunch will be served on paper plates all three days.

NOTE: If you receive in-home support (from Fraser Health or another organization) please let them know that hot water/ showers will not be available during this time.

This will not affect the other three apartment buildings – Terrace East, Terrace West or Pavilion. If you have any questions please reach out to Leonard or one of the LEAs. Thank you for your cooperation.
