A water quality advisory has been lifted for residents served by the Westshore water system off Westside Road.
The removal of the advisory by the Regional District of Central Okanagan was made after consultation with the Interior Health Authority.
“The turbidity in the source water for the Westshore system has decreased and is once again within the acceptable and safe Canadian guidelines for drinking water quality,” said Bruce Smith, RDCO communications officer.
“As a result, we’ve removed the water quality advisory that was brought in as a precaution on May 12. Customers of the system are no longer advised to boil their water before using it for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables or brushing their teeth.”
The utility serves about 250 properties in Westshore Estates.
“We wish to remind residents on the system that the advisory was a precautionary measure and that no bacteria were detected within the water system,” said Smith.
