Attention Village of Fruitvale Residents living on the north side of the Village:

Update:

As of 1:30pm, public works is collecting garbage on the north side of the Village.  They will be working late, if need be, to collect all garbage.

Thank you for your patience.

************

Due to unforeseen circumstances related to the garbage truck, garbage collection on the north side of the Village is delayed today, Wednesday, October 13, and possibly may not be collected.  If your garbage has not been picked up by 3:00 pm, please bring it in so the animals do not get into it.  Updates will be posted on the Village of Fruitvale Facebook page and on this website.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.  If you have any questions, please contact Public Works at 250-367-6162 or the Village Office at 250-367-7551. 

Effective October 4th, 2021 Stage 3 Water Restrictions

The one thing in life that is for sure is that things are always changing.

It is with mixed feelings the Village of Fruitvale announces the retirement of Glen Grieve.

Glen has been an integral part of the Village of Fruitvale team for thirty-four years most notably in his position as Water Foreman operating the Beaver Valley Water System. Glen holds a Level III Water Treatment Operator and Level II Water Distribution Operator Certificate with the Environmental Operators Certification Program and has ensured users of the Beaver Valley Water System have enjoyed worry free and safe water treatment and distribution to their homes.

While Glen will be staying close to the Village of Fruitvale imparting his knowledge and experience as we move into a new chapter operating the Beaver Valley Water System, we will miss seeing him daily through our operations.

Congratulations Glen and we will miss you. Enjoy the next chapter!
