Taps run dry in Enderby.
Some Enderby residents are out of water.
A drinking water main break has occurred at a critical place in the City of Enderby’s water distribution system – where the water line crosses the Shuswap River.
At this time, there is no water service east of the Enderby (Len Bawtree) Bridge, meaning that approximately 50 customers are without water.
The city is in the process of implementing an interim solution to restore water to customers on the east side of the bridge.
Before the interim solution is implemented, a boil water advisory will be issued for customers east of the bridge.
The city is in the process of distributing notices to all customers east of the bridge.
Until further notice, all City of Enderby water customers east of the bridge should bring water to a rolling boil for three minutes and then cool before consuming it.
Note that customers west of the bridge, including customers within the City of Enderby and the Gunter-Ellison Service Extension, are not affected by this boil water advisory.
First responders, Emergency Management BC (and through them, the Ministry of Environment), Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, and Interior Health have all been notified.

A Saskatoon hospital has cancelled all surgeries because of water problems.

The Saskatoon Health Region says Saskatoon City Hospital experienced water quality issues late Monday and was immediately put under a boil-water order, meaning no tap water can be consumed in the building.

Nearly 40 scheduled surgeries have been postponed and additional procedures, including endoscopies, have also been postponed until further notice.

However, the region says the hospital is still open for non-invasive procedures and appointments, including the emergency department.

It says emergency water supplies, including bottled water, have been distributed to all units and departments for patients and staff.

Dr. Johnmark Opondo, the region’s deputy medical health officer, says at this point, they do not know what caused the water quality issue.

“We have taken all the necessary safety precautions to protect our patients and our staff while we await the results of the water quality testing,” Opondo said Tuesday.
