PIVFD has just completed a new project on Piers Island with funding provided by a UBCM grant. We applied in October 2022 and received approval for funding and our project in February 2023. We've put together the details and information so that we can share this with other communities. If you are a small coastal community or lakefront community you may find these solutions would work for you. We worked on way to augment water supplies from natural sources and have a limited number of trained people to work with.
The slide show above is available in pdf format for you as well.
Using salt water is an incredible resource, however is it corrosive to the equipment if it is not properly flushed after use. We recommend using fresh water sources for practice with the knowledge you can use the equipment in salt water in an emergency.
