Boil water notice downgraded for Killiney Beach system

The Regional District of Central Okanagan has downgraded a precautionary Boil Water Notice issued May 9 to a Water Quality Advisory for all customers of the Killiney Beach water system.

The notice affects approximately 295 properties connected to the Killiney Beach water system  on the west side of Okanagan Lake.

With a Water Quality Advisory now in place, it’s recommended that as a precaution all customers, especially those with weakened immune systems, children and the elderly should boil all water intended for drinking, washing fruit and vegetables, making beverages, ice or brushing teeth for at least one minute.  As a safe alternative to boiled water from the tap, customers may choose to use bottled or distilled water.

The advisory will remain in effect until further notice and testing confirms water quality is within acceptable Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines.
