Emergency forces water to be shut off in parts of West Kelowna

WEST KELOWNA – Water supplies have been shut off to parts of Boucherie Centre in West Kelowna because of an emergency valve replacement triggered by improvements to Ross Road.

Residents of Applegreen Court, Hewl Road and parts of Ponderasa Road will have problems getting water today, according to a City of West Kelowna news release.

Crews are working to get the problem resolved as quickly as possible.

This follows on a Boil Water Notice that was issued yesterday, Aug. 14 in that area due to a separate water valve replacement.

Free water is available at the bulk water station at Shannon Lake and Asquith Roads.
