Corix Utilities, in conjunction with the Interior Health Authority, has issued a Water Quality Advisory for customers on the Canadian Lakeview Estates Water System.
- The Water Quality Advisory is required due to increased turbidity, or cloudiness.
- Testing shows current water quality is FAIR.
- The WQA will remain in place until conditions change or water quality has improved.
- A second notice will be issued once the Water Quality Advisory is rescinded.
Corix Utilities and The Interior Health Authority recommend that children, the elderly, people with weakened immune systems, and anyone seeking additional protection drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice.
For these at-risk populations, water intended for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for at least one minute.
