Original notice - July 31, 2025
In conjunction with Interior Health, the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) customers supplied by Greater Vernon Water that they are on a precautionary Water Quality Advisory (WQA). The area affected are properties along Noble Canyon Rd (see map).
A water quality improvement project in the area has resulted in a depressurization and a loss of water pressure affecting these residents. The water line is being flushed and sampling done. 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. Please run a cold water tap until the water has cleared. An outside tap is preferred.
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.
Updates will be posted to www.rdno.ca/news (filter by Water Notices).
