Outdoor water use allowed again in Greater Vernon

The Duteau Creek water treatment plant has returned to normal operation

Greater Vernon residents can start outdoor irrigation again.

The Duteau Creek water treatment plant has returned to normal operation and the restriction on outdoor water use has been lifted.

On June 21, the Regional District of North Okanagan decided to switch Duteau customers over to the Kalamalka Lake source because of high turbidity.

Due to capacity reasons, all customers were asked not to use water outdoors and to minimize all water use.
