Wednesday, May 24, 2017 – The City of Kimberley issued a BOIL WATER NOTICE for all users in Kimberley in accordance with Interior Heath’s Water Quality Notification Program. The City continually monitors the turbidity levels and posts the average daily readings on the website at Kimberley.ca
The turbidity index has three levels of water quality reading: Good, Fair and Poor. All users are to boil their water when the water quality is poor.
Interior Health recommends that all customers drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice. Water intended for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making juice or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for one minute. Water should then be cooled and stored in a clean, covered container in the fridge.
