Boil water still on.
“The situation is that we have both water treatment plants back on line,” said Bob Fleming, Electoral Area B director, following a briefing from Greater Vernon Water (GVW) staff on Monday.
“We got the Duteau plant back up today.” Turbidity caused by fast running water from snow melt and vast amounts of rain last Friday caused both the Duteau and Kalamalka Lake sources to go on a boil water advisory.
Areas impacted include the City of Vernon, District of Coldstream, Electoral Areas B and C, some areas of Electoral Area D and Spallumcheen, including Stepping Stones.
Fleming said samples of water from both sources have been sent out for analysis.
The results will be sent to Interior Health.
Meanwhile, the politician was not too worried about vast amounts of mud at the south end of Kalamalka Lake that startled people on Sunday.
Photos showed mud and debris along the lake shore and streams of mud flowing north.
Further south, there is time for things to settle and disperse.” For now, water intended for the following uses should be boiled for one minute: drinking preparing any foods washing fruits and vegetables making beverages or ice brushing teeth Customers will be informed when water quality returns to normal via road signs and a follow up media release.

WaterWorld Weekly Newscast, May 8, 2017.
The following is a transcript of the WaterWorld Weekly Newscast for May 8, 2017.
Hi, I’m Angela Godwin for WaterWorld magazine, bringing you water and wastewater news headlines for the week of May 8.
Coming up… ASCE publishes new stormwater guidelines ‘Living Map’ compiles water financing ideas Diamond wastewater technology strikes gold at Edison Awards Water data available from Bureau of Reclamation for download, use The American Society of Civil Engineers has released three new standards that provide updated guidelines for urban stormwater systems.
But researchers from Stanford believe they can help.
The Stanford team has created a “Living Map” of innovative ways to finance water projects in the United States.
The map shows case studies of successful water financing efforts around the country designed to be implemented at various scales.
The case studies feature a wide variety of mechanisms — some are market-based systems like credit and permit trading, others use grant funding, bonds, end-user fees, or a combination of all of the above.
To learn more, visit Stanford’s Water in the West program online at waterinthewest.stanford.edu.
Designed to treat highly contaminated industrial wastewater, DIAMOX wastewater treatment technology from Element Six is an electrochemical cell that utilizes synthetic industrial diamond electrodes to mineralize dissolved pollutants in the water — without the use of additional UV or chemicals.

Boil water advisory issued for Sorrento.
The Columbia Shuswap Regional District has issued a boil water advisory for the Sorrento water system.
High turbidity levels, which is cloudiness due to suspended sediment, have been detected in the Sorrento Water System’s drinking water supply.
High turbidity levels may occur in surface water sources due to seasonal weather changes causing excessive surface runoff, flooding or lake turnover.
This may impair the effectiveness of the disinfection treatment system.
If disinfection is impaired, disease-causing micro-organisms may escape into the water distribution system, resulting in an increase risk of intestinal illness.
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.
The advisory is in effect immediately and until further notice from the CSRD.

ENDERBY – High turbidity caused by last night’s rainfall is creating water issues in Enderby.
The City of Enderby issued a mandatory water conservation advisory this morning, May 5,for all customers west of the bridge, according to a release from the municipality.
This will help ensure that fire flows and potable water for essential needs are preserved,” chief administrative officer Tate Bengston says in the release.
Runoff from Thursday night’s thunderstorm created elevated turbidity in the Shuswap River, which is the Enderby’s primary water source.
“If the river turbidity persists or continues to escalate, the City will take additional measures to provide for public health and safety.
If the river turbidity decreases, the advisory will be removed,” Bengston says.
The City is in the final stages of readying a temporary solution to reconnect both sources at the river crossing, which will serve as an interim connection until the new lines can be permanently installed.
The Boil Water Advisory for customers east of the bridge remains in effect.
However, customers east of the Bridge are not affected by the mandatory water conservation advisory.
