Services in Belcarra

Hot water in Belcarra

Belcarra is one of the region's smallest and most isolated single-family communities, spread along the waterfront of Indian Arm at the end of a dead-end road off the Port Moody shoreline. Water-heater work is single-family in nature and usually scheduled deliberately because of the travel.

Gas installation permits in Belcarra are issued by Technical Safety BC, and the community receives Metro Vancouver's soft water supply. Belcarra is an extended-tier service area for CANRO: scheduling and travel are confirmed by phone when you call.

Local facts with sources

Who issues gas permits in Belcarra. Technical Safety BC issues gas installation permits in Belcarra; the Village is not among the municipalities that issue their own under IB-GA-2018-01. CANRO obtains the permit as part of every installation. Source

Homeowner gas permits. Owners of strata or non-strata duplex dwellings, and homes operating a business, cannot use a homeowner permit and must hire a licensed contractor; Technical Safety BC sets out who may pull a homeowner gas permit. Source

Water supply and hardness. Metro Vancouver supplies the water and reports treated hardness of roughly 2–25 mg/L as CaCO3 depending on the source, which is very soft water: scale is a minor concern and anode condition matters more on storage tanks. Source

Gas utility and leak line. Natural gas in this community is supplied by FortisBC. For a gas smell or suspected leak, leave the building and call the FortisBC emergency line at 1-800-663-9911 or 911. Source

CANRO in Belcarra. CANRO Heating & Cooling lists Belcarra among its service areas as an extended-tier community; availability is confirmed by phone. Source

If you smell gas

Stop what you are doing. Do not use phones, switches, matches or anything that can spark inside.
Go outside and leave the door open behind you.
Call the FortisBC 24-hour emergency line at 1-800-663-9911 or dial 911.

Only after that, call CANRO about the water heater. Official guidance: FortisBC gas leaks and odour.
