As part of ongoing efforts by the Regional District of the North Okanagan (RDNO) to maintain water quality and infrastructure, to facilitate the water main tie-in, there will be a temporary disruption of water service as follows:
– Learmouth Road and School Road on Tuesday, July 16, 2024, 8:30 and 5:00 pm
– Learmouth Road and Angus Drive on Wednesday, July 17, 2024,8:30 and 5:00 pm
During this period, water service in these areas will be temporarily turned off.
To minimize the inconvenience, affected residents should take the following precautions:
- Store an adequate supply of water for drinking, cooking, household needs, and sanitation purposes.
- Ensure that faucets are turned off to prevent any damage once water service is restored.
- Plan for any activities that may require water, such as bathing or laundry.
Following the water interruption, a 48-hour Water Quality Advisory (WQA) will be in effect. As well, residents may notice reduced water pressure, air in the water, discoloration and/or increased turbidity (cloudiness). Residents are asked to run a cold tap until the water has cleared. An outside tap is preferred. The level of treatment provided by the RDNO will be maintained; however, residents may wish to boil their water for at least one minute when preparing any food, drinking, washing fruits & vegetables, making beverages or ice or when brushing teeth.
