The Town of Osoyoos has issued an additional Boil Water Notice (BWN) for three areas until further notice. This is in addition to the notice issued on Dec. 13. The town says the notice is the result of an unsatisfactory Bacteriological sample “indicating a concern with the water system”.
The Boil Water Notice (BWN) applies to the following areas:
• 91st Street off of 12th Avenue
• 12th Avenue from 91st Street east to 85th Street
• 85th Street off of 12th Avenue
The Town of Osoyoos and Interior Health recommend all individuals should be boiling water for a minimum of one minute or find a safe alternative until further notice.
Water intended for drinking, washing ready-to-eat fruit and vegetables, making beverages, ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for a minimum of one minute.
Tenants, visitors, or other building occupants should be notified of the boil water notice.
Interior Health has been consulted, and residents will be notified when conditions change, according to the town.
