An interruption in the water supply caused the City of West Kelowna, in consultation with Interior Health, to issue a Boil Water Notice for the Shannon Lake district and the West Kelowna Business Park within the Lakeview-Rose Valley Water Service Area.
Crews are on site to repair the water line interruption near Golf Course Drive.
According to the precautionary advice on boiling water, affected residents should find another source of water to drink, cook, brush their teeth, prepare meals, make ice cream, and prepare baby food, or use tap water that has been boiled for a minute or more.
There is a bulk gas station on Shannon Lake and Asquith Roads from the Powers Creek Water Filtration Plant. Customers can use it for free during the Boil Water Notice.
In accordance with COVID-19 guidelines, the faucet is touch-free and users should disinfect their hands before and after using the facility and keep a safe distance of two meters from others. The tap is on the Asquith Road side of the gas station.
The City of West Kelowna will use its e-news service to inform residents as soon as it can lift the Boil Water Notice. For news, notifications, and updates on the Rose Valley Water Treatment Plant, log on to westkelownacity.ca/subscribe.
