Water advisory lifted

A water-quality advisory issued Tuesday following the Bear Creek fire has been lifted.

The advisory affected more than 530 properties in Killiney Beach and Westshore Estates. 

“The lifting of the precautionary advisory this morning by the Regional District of Central Okangan was made in consultation with Interior Health,” explains communications officer Bruce Smith.

The advisory affected properties connected to the two separate community water systems servicing subdivisions off Westside Road.

The advisory was recommended on Monday as a result of the power outages and reservoir drawdown affecting the two water utilities.

“With the restoration of regular electrical service, the water quality advisory has been removed. We thank all our customers for their patience and understanding during this period. The health risk for certain people including the elderly, children and those with weakened immune systems was modest which is why the precautionary advisory was brought in,” adds Smith.
