We are pleased to announce that water service was restored to the Canadian Lakeview Estates community overnight.
Residents may experience some cloudiness and entrapped air in their household water lines. We recommend running taps (especially the highest taps in the house) for a few minutes to help clear this.
Water sampling will be conducted on Friday and Monday to confirm water is safe for consumption. Once results are received, and upon approval of the Interior Health Authority, the temporary Boil Water Advisory can be lifted. Please check this page for updates.
We would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding during this unfortunate event.
Precautions During a Boil Water Advisory
During a Boil Water Advisory, tap water used for the following purposes should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one (1) minute prior to use.
- Drinking and ice cubes
- Liquids or food (e.g. tea or soup) that will not be boiled for at least one (1) minute
- Washing fruits and vegetables being eaten raw
- Brushing teeth or cleaning dental and medical appliances
- Preparing baby food and infant formula
- Bathing infants
Adults, adolescents, and older children may shower, bathe, or wash using tap water, but should avoid swallowing water. It’s recommended to sponge bathe infants if using tap water. Tap water may be used for dishes washed by machine but add bleach to water used for dishes washed by hand. Water used for other household purposes does not need to be boiled.
This Advisory will be rescinded once the water has been demonstrated safe to drink. Please check this webpage for updates.
