Corix Multi-Utility Services Inc. is issuing a BOIL WATER ADVISORY for the Panorama Water System effective Tuesday October 29. This is due to connection of the new Groundwater Source infrastructure to the existing distribution system.
Corix and the Interior Health Authority recommend that ALL customers in the affected area consume boiled water, or a safe alternative, until further notice. Water intended for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for at least one minute. Boiled water should then refrigerated in a clean, covered container. Customers could also choose to use bottled or distilled water.
In accordance with Interior Health Authority requirements, owners of all public facilities must post “Boil Water Notices” at all sinks or drinking water fountains accessible to the public. Alternatively, public fountains and faucets may be turned off.
Corix anticipates that the advisory will be rescinded on Friday November 1. We appreciate your cooperation and patience during this time.
