Greater Vernon Water Water Quality Advisory 7708 Coldstream Creek Rd and Portions of Meadow Rd

In conjunction with Interior Health, the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) advises customers supplied by Greater Vernon Water at 7708 Coldstream Creek Road and portions of Meadow Road (see map below) that they are on a precautionary Water Quality Advisory (WQA).

A water main break in this area has resulted in a loss of water pressure and increased turbidity. The break is being repaired and flushing will occur once the work is complete. The RDNO is issuing a WQA to affected areas while sampling and testing of the water main occurs to ensure the continued safety of the water system.

What should customers do?

When the water service resumes properties in the area may experience reduced water pressure, discolouration of the water, and/or air. Please run a cold water tap until the water has cleared. An outside tap is preferred.

The level of service and treatment provided by the RDNO has been maintained; however, some customers 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.

Updates will be posted to www.rdno.ca/news (filter by Water Notices). You can also subscribe to receive email updates at www.rdno.ca/subscribe.

If you have any questions, please contact the RDNO Utilities Department at 250-550-3700.
