West Kelowna Estates residents wake to boil water notice

WEST KELOWNA – Some residents of West Kelowna woke to a boil water advisory this morning, July 15.

A notice from the City of West Kelowna advises all residents using the West Kelowna Estates water system must boil water before consuming due to a mechanical failure and increased turbidity.

The city says crews are working on repairs but not how long those repairs might take. 

A Boil Water Notice means all users should use boiled water, or an alternate, safe source, for drinking, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, preparing food, making beverages and ice and mixing baby formula.
