Boil Water Advisory issued for Lancaster County neighborhood after water main break

Read more below: On 05/10/17 at 3:00pm, the City of Lancaster Water Department has issued a boil water advisory for customers because of a main break due to a contractor drilling through our water main on 05/10/17.
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.

Boil Water Notice for two Westside Road water systems

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.

Boil water still on

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.
If you have any questions about the boil notice, contact the RDNO at 250-550-3682 or check online.

Boil water advisory in effect in Whitehall

Boil water advisory in effect in Whitehall.
The village of Whitehall issued a boil water advisory slated to begin on May 1 at midnight, but complications with the scheduled work caused the advisory to be rescinded 12 hours after it was issued.
“That’s cutting out a section and replacing it…it could be eight inches, 10 inches it all, depends…it could go up to two feet,” Brock said of the section of pipe to be replaced.
The advisory was rescinded because the DPW crew was having difficulties tracing the leak to its source.
“The problem was not finding the leak – it’s not surfacing,” Brock said.
“It’s following the storm sewer.” As a result, Brock called Rural Water, a Claverack based non-profit organization that assists small communities with their water and wastewater operations.
Brock said the organization has more advanced equipment which will be able to better identify the source of the leak.
Rural Water sent personnel to Whitehall on Monday and they were able to identify the location of the leak and the DPW will commence work on Wednesday, which should only take a few hours.
“It’s a lot faster now than it was 20 years ago.” The boil-water advisory will go into effect again on Wednesday at midnight and remain in effect for three days because the water must undergo three consecutive days of testing to ensure it meets code.

Precautionary Boil Water Advisory – 1300 Block of Richmond Street in Brunswick – Monday, May 1, 2017

This water main must be relocated to accommodate conflicts within the underground utility layout.
Work is scheduled to be completed by 1:00 pm today, at which time, samples will be taken to determine water quality.
This loss of pressure in the distribution system may cause back-pressure, back-siphonage, or a net movement of water from outside the pipe to the inside through cracks, breaks, or joints in the distribution system that are common in all water systems.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice.
Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
Bathing, showering and toilet flushing may be performed using water from the tap without boiling it first.
They may pose a special health risk for infants, young children, some of the elderly and people with severely compromised immune systems.
The symptoms above are not caused only by organisms in drinking water.
If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice.
