The City of Enderby is advising drinking water consumers that it is ending its Water Quality Advisory early. The Water Quality Advisory will now end at noon on July 25, 2024. The water quality advisory has been in effect since July 23, 2024.
The City of Enderby issued the Water Quality Advisory as a precaution associated with planned distribution system testing. The system testing is necessary to prepare for the reconstruction of its lower reservoir.
Based on the outcomes of the test that necessitated the Water Quality Advisory, the length of time that it will take for water in the system to return to its typical quality is less than anticipated. Residents may notice City Public Works crew flushing water from hydrants over the next several days in order to improve the water turnover rate in the system.
For the remainder of the Water Quality Advisory, users with weakened immune systems or wishing additional protection should take the following precautions when drinking, washing fruit and vegetables, making beverages or ice, or when brushing teeth:
- Boil water rapidly for at least 1 minute or use an alternate safe source of water.
- Use a hand sanitizer after washing your hands.
For further information, contact the City of Enderby at 250-838-7230 or info@cityofenderby.com. If you notice any changes in your drinking water during the system testing, such as a variation in pressure, colour, clarity, or availability, please complete the form at www.cityofenderby.com/water-bypass.
Please help by informing others.
