Vernon Jubilee Hospital Water Plan

May 7, 2017 | 4:56 PM

The boil water notice for the city of Vernon is having an effect on the water supply at Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

 A boil water plan in place at the hospital for creating potable water for the site and bottled water is being brought in; however, demand for water is expected to increase Monday when weekday operations resume.

 To ensure there is enough water for patients and staff and to continue regular operations while the boil water notice remains in effect, Interior Health is asking families and visitors to the hospital and staff coming on shift, if possible, to bring their own personal supply of potable or bottled water as an added conservation measure.

 It’s expressing appreciation for everyone’s understanding and patience during this time.
