Water Main Break
Water main break leads to precautionary boil water notice in Okanagan Landing
Mar 20, 2025 | 4:18 PM
A precautionary Boil Water Notice was issued for a neighbourhood in the Okanagan Landing Thursday.
Greater Vernon Water said a water main break in the afternoon of March 20 led to the notice being issued for properties along Apollo Rd. and from 6531 to 7347 Longacre Dr.
The break caused a loss of water pressure and increased turbidity, and affected residents were advised to bring water to a roiling boil for a full minute before drinking, using to prepare food or drinks including ice or baby formula, and brushing teeth.
People may also experienced reduced pressure or air in the pipes, and in those cases GVW recommended the cold taps be run until the water has cleared.
