Long-awaited New Water System For Prince George Is Now In Full Operation
Prince George's long-awaited new water supply system is now in operation but citizens are not expected to notice much improvement in the water for several days.
Mayor Jack Nicholson reported today that the new pump is running smoothly and efficiently, forcing water from the new well at the Nechako River bank directly into the city mains and those serving the army barracks.
