King's Beach UV Pilot Program Updates

Pilot Update

The UV Pilot system is temporarily offline while we install a new generator. It is expected to be operational again on Tuesday, August 5th.


On Monday, August 4th, minimal work will take place to prepare for the replacement. This includes removing some fencing and jersey barriers.

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our recent ribbon cutting ceremony that highlighted the progress of the UV Pilot Program at King's Beach.


This project has been a testament to powerful collaboration between our communities and dedicated stakeholders, all united by our goal of providing a cleaner, more accessible King's Beach for everyone.


The promising results from this UV pilot are a clear sign of the positive impact we're making together!
