In order to confirm that all domestic/potable water connections have been removed from the agriculture water main in the Old Kamloops and Bella Vista areas, there will be a planned interruption of agriculture water service.
It’s expected the service will be unavailable from 7 a.m. Thursday to 7 a.m. Friday.
“This planned interruption will assist Greater Vernon Water in ensuring that all agricultural water lines have been identified,” said Rod Pleasance, project engineer with the Regional District of North Okanagan.
“Customers are advised to notify us if your home or any buildings on your property with taps used for drinking water purposes have no water during this time.”
During this 24-hour agriculture water interruption, there will be no water to the agriculture water service.
“Please take the necessary measures to ensure that you have enough water for your agriculture water needs during this time,” said Pleasance.
The project to separate the domestic and agriculture water lines has now been completed in the Old Kamloops and Bella Vista areas.
After June 24, agriculture water will not be treated or chlorinated and must not be used for human consumption.
