FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Friday, Sept. 22, 2023

The City of West Kelowna, in consultation with Interior Health, has downgraded the Boil Water Notice to a Water Quality Advisory for the Rose Valley-Lakeview Water Service Area, until further notice.

View the Water Quality map here to confirm if your property is in the affected service area.

Under a Water Quality Advisory, children, the elderly and those with weakened immunity must use water brought to a rolling boil for one minute or more, or seek an alternative safe source, for brushing teeth, drinking, making baby formula and ice, preparing food and beverages and washing fruits and vegetables and dishes.

The bulk filling station at Shannon Lake and Asquith Roads provides a safe, alternative source of drinking water. Customers can use the touch-free filling station free during the Water Quality Advisory. Bring clean bottles for filling. The tap is located on the Asquith Road side of the facility.

The City will inform residents, via its e-news service, as soon as it is able to rescind the Water Quality Advisory. To receive news and alerts, sign up at westkelownacity.ca/subscribe.
