After consulting with Interior Health, the Regional District of Central Okanagan has rescinded a Water Quality Advisory for customers of the Killiney Beach Water System in the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area.

Turbidity in Okanagan Lake water source is once again within the acceptable and safe Canadian guidelines for drinking water quality. As a result the precautionary Water Quality Advisory that has been in place since May 11 has been removed. Approximately 290 properties are connected to the community water system off located off Westside Road.

The Regional District water systems provide service to just over 1,000 connections in six areas.
