The Regional District of Central Okanagan has issued a precautionary Boil Water Notice for residents served by the Falcon Ridge Water System in the Central Okanagan East Electoral Area.
This affects approximately 55 properties connected to the community water system off Highway 33. Roadside sign notices are in place advising residents of the boil notice.
“As a result of construction on the new water intake for the system, there is much higher than normal turbidity affecting the water source,” Communications Officer Bruce Smith said, in a press release.
“After consulting with Interior Health (IH) we recommend that Falcon Ridge water customers follow IH guidelines especially for those with weakened immune systems, the elderly, children and those wishing additional precautions.
