Upcoming 16th Avenue watermain project

Maintenance work: August 1–9, 2024 

Please be advised that UBC Facilities will be conducting maintenance work on the 16th Avenue watermain that supplies water to the UBC Vancouver campus. 

UBC Facilities will be flushing the system prior to and throughout this work. However, some buildings on the UBC campus may experience mild discolouration in their water or minor water pressure variances.  

The water remains safe for use and consumption. UBC Facilities monitors and tests our water supply weekly and will continue to do so during and after construction.

For questions or concerns, please contact your zone Facilities Manager.
