Community water at Hillside Beach

1/29/2023

 
Picture
The community of Hillside Beach is served by two local companies to provide potable water (safe drinking) for seasonal residents from May long weekend until the October Thanksgiving weekend.
  • Onalee Developments Water Supplier (South Hillside Beach)
    (204)754-7294  ona.lee.dev@gmail.com
  • Trainor Artesian Water Company (North Hillside beach)
    (204) 697-1456  trainorsprings@mymst.net
There is an annual fee for water service invoiced by the company available for your property. 

Important Reminders about Seasonal Water Services
  • The water service companies begin preparing the water lines when the snow has melted and the temperatures are above freezing.  
  • Water service company is responsible for lines to the property.
  • Property owner is responsible for line to the cottage. 

Check your water lines
Property owners should regularly check their water line - starting where the line connects to the property, then follow the line to the cottage. 
  • Run the water through your lines at the beginning of the season before hooking up to your cottage might clear any debris that has accumulated.  Once you have cleared your lines, hook up to the cottage and run the water through your taps before using. Remember, safe drinking water is available on the May long weekend or when indicated by the water server. 
  • If you are noticing low water pressure, check your line and check the line to your property. If it got cold enough overnight, it is possible there has been some freezing of the line.  Usually, daytime warm up is enough to have the water running again. 
  • Please note that “overuse” of water, for example, filling a pool or watering a yard, may impact all customers on the shared water line. Contact your water service provider if you require water for a pool.   
  • No power often means no water. When the power has gone out the pumps will not be working for the water service.  
    • Manitoba Hydro will be your contact, not the water service providers, if you are wondering when service will resume, check out the Manitoba Hydro Outages website.

Water Interruption tips
  • Bring or purchase a large reusable container of water to have available for drinking.
  • When temperatures are freezing be sure to store containers in an area where leaks would not damage furniture or cabinets. 
  • Keep jugs of water in the refrigerator to fill up your reusable containers that you take to the beach, hiking or biking. Reducing purchased individual plastic bottles is an environmentally wise choice.
  • Use rain barrels to collect water for your plants and if appropriate, to flush your toilet when the power is out.
