If you’ve been through Moresby Park area recently, you may have noticed some brush clearing and crews working surrounding one of three remaining Department of National Defense (DND) fuel tanks left in the area. During WWII, these tanks were used for refueling purposes for US military vessels.

PRINCE RUPERT, BC - The City would like to proactively address the media attention that Prince Rupert has received regarding lead leaching into water from home plumbing. The City of Prince Rupert and Northern Health are aware of the issue of lead and copper leaching from home plumbing, which is why we sent out a joint flushing notice to residents last year and have recently done further outreach following our own testing program that collected data from 65 households.

Please be advised that the Boil Water Notice that was ONLY issued in a section of 11th Avenue and surrounding streets has now been fully removed following the completion of water repairs in that area and approval from Northern Health. Homeowners have been provided direct notification by mail with respect to these changes.
