A Water Quality Advisory has been lifted for 265 properties connected to the Westshore Estates water system.
Regional District of Central Okanagan Communications Officer Bruce Smith says, “The higher turbidity caused by the historically high levels of the Okanagan Lake source water has decreased and is once again within the acceptable and safe Canadian guidelines for drinking water quality.
The precautionary Water Quality Advisory had been in place since May 18th.
Customers of the Westshore Estates system are no longer advised to boil their water before using it for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables or brushing their teeth.
Sandbags remain in place to protect the intake pumphouses from the continued high lake water levels. Residents are asked not to remove any of these flood protection works.
Customers are reminded that in order to allow adequate water supplies in our reservoirs until September 15th, Stage 2 outdoor watering restrictions are in place.
Customers with even number addresses may irrigate outdoors on Saturday and Tuesday while those with odd addresses may only water outside on Sunday and Wednesday.
