Cedar Heights residents on boil water advisory.
The Columbia Shuswap Regional District has issued a boil-water advisory for the Cedar Heights water system.
High turbidity levels have been detected in the system’s drinking water supply.
High turbidity (cloudiness) levels may occur in surface water sources due to seasonal weather changes causing excessive surface runoff, flooding or lake turnover.
A high turbidity level may impair the effectiveness of the disinfection treatment system.
The CSRD and Interior Health recommend that children, the elderly, people with weakened immune systems and anyone seeking additional protection to drink boiled water or a safe alternative.
For these at-risk populations, water intended for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for one minute.
Boiled water should then be refrigerated in a clean covered container.
Users could also choose to use bottled or distilled water, or water than has been filtered through a well-maintained treatment device.
The regional district will inform users once the boil water advisory has been removed.

Boil water notice issued in Lower Nicola.
Residents using the Lower Nicola Waterworks Improvement District Water System have been issued a boil water advisory.

You’ll never guess who he is Lower Nicola Waterworks administrator Carla Beacon said the advisory, which was issued by the Interior Health Authority earlier today, is due to a bacteriological contamination caused by the recent flooding of Guichon Creek.
Leroy Wagner, chairman of the water board for the system, said he shut off a pump house and a tank from the system due to the rushing water breaking a waterline under Marshall Road.
Wagner said he’s not sure exactly where the contamination is coming from, believing he might have been able to shutdown flow to the pump house just before the line broke.
He said more testing will be done in the coming weeks.
“Most of the people on Corkle [Street] and Aberdeen [Road] and all the little side streets are on our water system.” The Lower Nicola Band issued a precautionary boil water notice for residents of the Rocky Pines subdivision in Lower Nicola a few days ago, which remains in place, as does an evacuation alert for the area.

Ketchum residents, businesses advised to boil water, part of Warm Springs Road evacuated.
A treated water sample, tested at the same time from the same well, showed no signs of bacteria, a city statement said.
The positive sample is the result of a clerical mistake made by city staff in the process of sending in the sample for testing, the city said.
"On the form sent with the sample, staff should have checked a box indicating that the sample was a ‘special sample’ and that non-treated, raw water was not entering the drinking water system," the city said.
“But I also want to be clear that no untreated water entered the city’s drinking water system.
Boil advisories mean water delivered by the city’s system that will be used for drinking, food preparation, brushing teeth and cleaning dish and glassware should be boiled for at least one minute.
The well has been taken out of service and other wells have been put into service, the city said.
"City staff intends to continue enhanced monitoring of its municipal drinking water system throughout the flood event," KETCHUM — The Blaine County Sheriff’s Office has ordered a mandatory evacuation and hard road closure on Warm Springs Road.
Because of flooding, the road cannot be maintained.
"If you are physically unable to evacuate call 911.

This notice is for customers in the area: South of Millport Road to Pioneer Road, from Gypsy Hill Road to Strasburg Pike.
The City of Lancaster Water System may be at an increased risk from microbial contamination due to a drop/loss of water pressure within a part of the distribution system.
Typically, a drop/loss of water pressure is the result of a pipeline break or a pump failure.
Although there is no direct evidence that the water is unsafe, there is a pronounced increased chance that disease-causing organisms could enter the water distribution system.
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST.
These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
These symptoms, however, are not caused only by organisms in drinking water, but also by other factors.
What happened?
We will inform you when the situation is corrected and tests confirm the water is safe to drink.

Water quality advisory issued for Waneta Junction.
Low level coliform bacteria were detected within the Green Gables reservoir distribution system, located above Trail Canadian Tire, which services over 60 properties along Highway 22A.
The City of Trail and Interior Health advises those with weakened or immature immunity to boil water for at least one minute, and exercise precautions when drinking, washing produce, making beverages and ice, or when brushing teeth.
A water quality advisory indicates a level of risk associated with consuming drinking water, but the conditions do not warrant a boil water notice or do-not-use water notice.
“It’s just a water quality advisory on right now … not a boil water notice …,” he clarified.
Although Green Gables is testing low, the advisory is in place because the Canadian Drinking Water Quality Guideline for total coliforms is none detectable per 100 mL.
“It’s not the water coming out of the well that is the problem, there’s coliform in the Green Gables reservoir or in the distribution system below the reservoir – it’s not coming out of the well.” Public works will be flushing respective mains with chlorine while the city investigates where the coliform originates.
“We are going to do some research in the next week or two and hopefully narrow down the source,” McIsaac said.
“That increases the velocity of the water coming through the pipe, pulls a little bit of that bacterial growth away from the wall, and it gets distributed.” Once the system is flushed, the city will pull samples to send for testing at a certified lab.
McIsaac added, “By Monday or on Monday, we should have an answer.” Commonly used as an indicator of sanitary quality of foods and water, coliforms are a rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria.

More Westside water woes.
UPDATE: 3:10 p.m.
The City of West Kelowna is issuing a water quality advisory for users of the Pritchard and Sunnyside Water Systems due to increased turbidity in water drawn from Okanagan Lake.
Increased turbidity, caused by spring runoff and flooding activity, can mean bacteria, viruses and microorganisms can attach themselves to suspended particles in the turbid water.
These particles can interfere with disinfection by shielding the micro-organisms from the chlorine.
It’s recommended that children, the elderly, people with weakened immune system and anyone wishing to seek additional protection bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute or use an alternate, safe source of water, for drinking, brushing teeth, preparing food and mixing baby formula.
ORIGINAL: 2:30 p.m.
The Regional District of Central Okanagan has upgraded a previous water quality advisory and has issued a boil-water notice for residents served by the Killiney Beach and Westshore Estates water systems.
Turbidity can interfere with disinfection, limiting chlorine’s ability to remove or inactivate viruses, bacteria and parasites.
Until further notice, the regional district and Interior Health recommend customers drink boiled water or a safe alternative.

Boil Water Notice for two Westside Road water systems.
CENTRAL OKANAGAN – Roughly 500 properties north of West Kelowna off Westside Road have been upgraded from a Water Quality Advisory to a Boil Water Notice due to high turbidity in two water systems.
Residents served by the Killiney Beach and Westshore Estates water systems are encouraged to boil water before drinking, according to a Central Okanagan Regional District media release.
Those with weakened immune systems are urged to avoid drinking water from the Falcon Ridge water system.
Interior Health recommends only two options for customers under the Boil Water Notices in Killiney Beach and Westshore Estates due to the presence of protozoa in the lake water: Boiling water for one minute or using a safe alternative for washing produce, making beverages or ice, or brushing teeth.
Turbidity can interfere with disinfection, limiting chlorine’s ability to remove or inactivate viruses, bacteria and parasites.
