Update - Jan. 31/25
The precautionary Boil Water Notice (BWN) has been rescinded.
In conjunction with Interior Health, the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) advises some customers supplied by Greater Vernon Water (GVW) in the Middleton Dr & Venables Dr area (see map) that they are on a precautionary Boil Water Notice (BWN) until January 31, 2025 at 4:00pm.
A service break has resulted in a loss of water pressure and increased turbidity in the area. The precautionary BWN will be in effect until sampling confirms the safety of the water as directed by Interior Health.
What should customers do in the event of power outage or when water service is temporarily lost?
When the water service resumes, properties in the area may experience reduced water pressure, discolouration of the water, and/or air. Please run cold water until the water has cleared. An outside tap(s) is preferred.
The level of service and treatment provided by the RDNO has been maintained; however, customers in the affected area should boil their water for at least one minute when preparing any food, drinking, washing fruits & vegetables, making beverages or ice or when brushing teeth.
This notice will be rescinded on January 31, 2025 at 4:00pm without additional notification from the RDNO. The rescind notice will also be posted to www.rdno.ca/news (filter by Water Notices).
If you have any questions, please contact the RDNO Utilities Department at 250-550-3700.
