Water main break disrupts service in East Kelowna

KELOWNA – A broken water main in East Kelowna has cut off water service to a number of homes.

Service will be affected for several hours and crews are on site making repairs, South East Kelowna Irrigation District spokesman Toby Pike says in a press release.

The areas and address affected include the 3300, 3400 and 3500 blocks of McCulloch Road, including the Lake City Mobile Home Park, the 3300, 3400 and 3500 blocks of Lupin Crescent, Greenwood Court, 3900 block of June Springs Road, Gulley Road, Grieve Road, Hart Road, 2295, 2275 and 2205 KLO Road, 3551 Spiers Road.

Residents may experience cloudy water once service is restored, Pike said, and are advised to run a cold water tap until water runs clear.

John began life as a journalist through the Other Press, the independent student newspaper for Douglas College in New Westminster. The fluid nature of student journalism meant he was soon running the place, learning on the fly how to publish a newspaper.

It wasn’t until he moved to Kelowna he broke into the mainstream media, working for Okanagan Sunday, then the Kelowna Daily Courier and Okanagan Saturday doing news graphics and page layout. He carried on with the Kelowna Capital News, covering health and education while also working on special projects, including the design and launch of a mass market daily newspaper. After 12 years there, John rejoined the Kelowna Daily Courier as editor of the Westside Weekly, directing news coverage as the Westside became West Kelowna.

But digital media beckoned and John joined Kelowna.com as assistant editor and reporter, riding the start-up as it at first soared then went down in flames. Now John is turning dirt as city hall reporter for iNFOnews.ca where he brings his long experience to bear on the civic issues of the day.
