Update: 3:12 p.m.
Emergency repairs are underway on Princeton Avenue near Highway 97 due to a damaged water main on private property. Several area properties will be out of water until the repair is complete.
A District of Peachland media release says that once the water service has been restored, all impacted properties will be placed on a precautionary boil water notice which will remain in place until further notice.
Impacted residents should bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute prior to using for drinking, making ice, cooking, washing food or brushing teeth.
When testing results indicate the system is working appropriately, the boil water notice will be lifted.
Once water service is restored, properties may experience air, discoloured water or sediment in service lines. Property owners are advised to run cold taps until conditions improve.

Crews are cleaning up a mess on Princeton Avenue Thursday (Aug. 28) afternoon.
A water main break has impacted traffic on the road just north of Highway 97.
It's believed an excavator working in the area caused the damage, although that is unconfirmed.
Princeton Avenue is open but is slow through the area as crews repair the break.
