Mabel Lake boil water

Interior Health has issued a boil water notice for consumers on the Mabel Lake water supply.

Due to increasing water levels, the turbidity, or cloudiness, has exceeded 5.0 NTU, according to a release from the North Okanagan Regional District.

As a result of the increased turbidity, the water quality is now rated as poor.

A poor rating means that all customers should exercise caution when using the water for consumption purposes.

Water intended for the following uses should be boiled for one minute:

  • drinking
  • preparing any food
  • washing fruits and vegetable
  • making beverages or ice
  • brushing teeth
  • preparing infant formula

Customers will be informed when water quality returns to normal via road signs and a follow up media release. For more information, contact the RDNO at 250- 550-3700 or check online.
