Repairs expected to last into July
The washroom facility at the new Loon Lake rest area on the Okanagan Connector is closed for repairs.
The BC Ministry of Transportation says gravel and sediment entered the water lines, preventing the system from working properly. Repairs are expected to last into July. In the meantime, port-a-potties have been set up.
The 4.2 million dollar rest area was opened in February, 40 kilometres east of Merritt. The electric vehicle charging stations and picnic area remain open.
