In conjunction with Interior Health, the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) said the area affected includes parts of 27th Avenue east of Alvaston Place (see map).
A water main break in this area has resulted in a depressurization and a loss of water pressure in the area. The break is being repaired, and flushing will be completed. The RDNO is issuing the advisory to the affected area while sampling and testing of the water main occurs to ensure the continued safety of the water system.
When the water service resumes, properties in the area may experience reduced water pressure, discolouration of the water, and/or air. Run a cold water tap until the water has cleared. An outside tap is preferred.
The level of treatment provided by the RDNO has been maintained; however, some customers may wish to boil their water for at least one minute when preparing food, drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice or brushing their teeth.
