(Original Story: Aug. 14 @ 5 pm) - The City of West Kelowna has issued a precautionary Boil Water Notice for residents in the Ross Road and Brentwood Road areas due to a water main tie-in complication.
Some residents in these areas have had water service turned off.
Construction to install a sidewalk along Ross Road, between Brentwood Road and Riffington Place, is underway and today’s water main tie-in caused some discolouration of water service to area residents.
The City is working with the contractor to rectify the issue and anticipates to have normal service resumed as soon as possible.
Free water is available at the bulk water station at Shannon Lake and Asquith Roads. A tap is located on the Asquith Road side of the station. Users must bring their own clean containers and clean hoses if needed and ensure they are suitable for potable water.
