The City of West Kelowna, in consultation with Interior Health, is upgrading an existing Water Quality Advisory to a Boil Water Notice, until further notice, for the entire Lakeview-Rose Valley Water Service Area, due to increased turbidity.

Turbidity effects the performance of the chlorine disinfection process because bacteria, protozoa, viruses and other microorganisms can attach themselves to suspended particles in the turbid water.

Grants of up to $500 are available, on a first-come, first-serve basis, to City of West Kelowna and Westbank First Nation property owners who take steps to protect their homes from wildfire using FireSmart principles.
