PLEASE NOTE:

As a precautionary measure, the Town of Osoyoos is also issuing a WATER QUALITY ADVISORY for the entire domestic water system to ensure users are aware of the potential for increased turbidity (brown and discoloured water).

The Operational Services Department is in the process of placing signs throughout the community as well as systematic water main flushing to address the discolouration.

Water quality sampling is being collected, and the results will be known by Friday this week. They will provide the necessary information to determine whether the notices can be lifted.

People with weakened immune systems and wishing additional protection should take precautions when drinking, washing fruits & vegetables, making beverages or ice, or brushing their teeth.

We thank you for your understanding, and should you have any questions, please contact the Operational Services Department.
