The Falkland Water System will be shutdown for repairs tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 18.
The service interruption will start at 8 a.m. with water turning back on at approximately 6 p.m. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) is recommending that residents keep adequate water on hand, as repairs and maintenance could take longer than scheduled.
They said once the water is turned back on, discoloration from sediment in the water system may be noticed, but it is not harmful. Running a garden hose or cold water bathtub faucet for several minutes should eliminate both air and discolouration, the CSRD said.
Below is the area affected by the water system shutdown.
