Boil Water Notice issued for parts of Westbank Centre

The City of West Kelowna, in consultation with Interior Health, is issuing an isolated Boil Water Notice until further notice, for a portion of the Powers Creek Water Service Area due to an unanticipated high flow event.

View a map at westkelownacity.ca/waterquality to confirm if your property is in the affected area.

Post-treatment turbidity is present within the distribution system and will limit the effectiveness of chlorine disinfection because bacteria, protozoa, viruses, and other microorganisms can attach themselves to suspended particles in the turbid water. The particles can interfere with disinfection by shielding the microorganisms from the chlorine.

For more information on boil water requirements, prior to consumption, please read Interior Health’s Drinking Water for Everyone website resources at drinkingwaterforeveryone.ca; see Boil Water Notice.

Residents can also obtain clean drinking water from the bulk filling station at Shannon Lake and Asquith Roads. Customers can use the station for free during the Boil Water Notice. 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 Boil Water Notice. To receive City news and alerts directly to your email inbox, sign up at westkelownacity.ca/subscribe.
