The Regional District of Central Okanagan has issued a Water Quality Advisory for customers of the Killiney Beach water system.

It affects more than 280 properties in the subdivision off Westside Road.

Increased turbidity in the water might impact children, the elderly or those with weakened immune systems.

The advisory will remain in place until turbidity returns to normal.

“Regional District staff recommends that as a precaution those customers and any others who may wish to take additional precautions should follow Interior Health guidelines,” says an RDCO release. “All water intended for drinking, washing fruit and vegetables, making beverages, ice or brushing teeth should be boiled for at least one minute or customers should use a safe alternative to water from the tap such as bottled or distilled water.”
