Original Notice - March 21, 2026
The Regional District of North Okanagan, in conjunction with Interior Health, advises some customers supplied by Greater Vernon Water that they are on a Water Quality Advisory as of March 21, 2026 until sampling results confirm the drinking water is safe. The affected area includes the following addresses.
2100, 2103, 2107, 2108, 2110, 2112 40th Street
3937, 4001 15th Crescent
3924 21a Ave
A water main break in this area has resulted in a loss of water pressure in the area. The break will be repaired, and flushing will be completed. The RDNO is issuing a WQA to the affected area while sampling and testing of the water main occurs to ensure the continued safety of the water system.
What should affected customers do?
When the water service resumes, properties in the area may experience reduced water pressure, discolouration of the water, and/or air in their water. Please run a cold water tap until the water has cleared. An outside tap is preferred, but bathtubs may be used if outside taps are unavailable during the cooler months.
The level of treatment provided by the RDNO has been maintained; however, some customers may wish to boil their water for at least one minute when preparing food, drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice or brushing their teeth.
When this notice is rescinded, it will be posted on the RDNO website, sent out to email subscribers and the locally placed signs will be updated. If you wish to subscribe, please visit www.rdno.ca/subscribe.
If you have any questions, please contact the RDNO Utilities Department at 250-550-3700.
