BOIL WATER NOTICE DOWNGRADED

BOIL WATER NOTICE DOWNGRADED on EAST KAL TO WATER QUALITY ADVISORY

February 20, 2009

Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) and Interior Health Authority has downgraded the Boil Water Notice for all customers on the East Kalamalka Intake to a Water Quality Advisory. The water quality has returned to a “FAIR” rating. All bacterial testing results were satisfactory and disinfection (chlorine) levels were unaffected.

What does a FAIR rating mean?

A fair warning means that some customers should be careful when ingesting the water.

Who should be careful?

The following customers should be careful when ingesting the water:

• children
• the elderly
• people with weakened immune systems

What should these customers do?

For these customers, water intended for the following uses should be boiled for one minute:
• drinking
• washing fruits and vegetables
• making beverages or ice
• brushing teeth

If you have any questions, please contact us at 250-550-3702 or check our website at www.rdno.ca or www.greatervernon.ca for notifications, and updates

I have been a resident of Coldstream since 1976. I have had 15 years of experience on Council, 3 years as Mayor. As a current Councillor I am working to achieve fair water and sewer rates and to ensure that taxpayers get fair treatment. The current direction regarding water supply is unsustainable and I am doing all I can to get the most cost effective water supply possible.
