The water quality advisory that has been in place for all City of 91大黄鸭 water utility customers for the last month has been lifted.
In consultation with the Interior Health Authority, drinking water from City Water Utility intakes has been monitored, tested, and is now consistently showing good results, says the city. So the advisory caused by turbidity in the water is over.
On Thursday, city hall said all businesses and public facilities on the 91大黄鸭 Water Utility can now remove water quality advisory notifications posted at all tap and sink locations.
The advisory was originally issued May 15 for the majority of residents and businesses that get their water from the city utility. It was expanded to include all city water customers on May 25. Elevated turbidity levels noted at city water intake systems triggered the advisory.
鈥淭urbidity levels at all city water intakes have dropped into the normal range again. Now that we are seeing consistently high water quality across the board, we can confidently rescind the advisory,鈥� said Ed Hoppe, water quality and customer care supervisor.
The City of 91大黄鸭 Water Utility is one of four major water providers operating within municipal boundaries. On June 4, the city assumed ownership of the South East 91大黄鸭 Irrigation District and as part of the Phase 1 鈥� 91大黄鸭 Integrated Water project, will build a new drinking water system to supply City Utility drinking water to more than 2,200 southeast 91大黄鸭 customers.
A water quality advisory for SEKID customers, issued on May 31 remains in place.
A number of water quality alerts also remain in place in other parts of the Central Okanagan. Check with your water service provider for the most up-to-date information.
