Black Mountain water advisory

Black Mountain Irrigation District advises water users in its service area of a temporary change in water quality.

Because of scheduled infrastructure work at the district’s intake, BMID will be shutting off its main supply of water and utilizing its own groundwater wells as well as those of the Rutland Waterworks District.

It is expected the change in water source will be from Wednesday through Feb. 25. At that time, BMID will restore the water supply to Mission Creek.

All water quality will continue to meet the guidelines for Canadian drinking water quality and requirements of Interior Health.

Customers may notice their water contains a higher level of minerals. Some may notice turbidity and sediment in their water while the changeover takes place. However, the condition is temporary and should clear up quickly.

If your water appears cloudy, residents are advised to run their cold water taps for several minutes until the water runs clear.
