The Water Quality Advisory issued on May 15 for City Water Utility customers has been expanded to include the customers serviced by the Swick Road water system. The customers serviced by the Swick Road water system include:
•5851 – 5891 Lakeshore Road
•167 – 180 Rimrock Road
•164 – 168 Rimrock Court
•100 – 186 Timberline Road
•205 – 220 Ambridgefield Road
The advisory is due to elevated turbidity levels caused by sediment flowing into Okanagan Lake. The Water Quality Advisory alerts customers in the area of a modest health risk associated with consuming tap water:
If you’d like to take extra precaution, boil water for one minute if the water is going to be used with edibles, or tooth brushing. You can also use bottled water. The advisory will remain in effect for all City Water Utility Customers until further notice.
