The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) is giving heads up to Sorrento Water System users, as unexpected repairs rewires a temporary shutdown.
The CSRD said on their announcement that the water shut-off started at approximately 8 a.m. and will continue until further notice.
“Contractors are hoping to have the water turned back on by 4 p.m., but the water outage may be longer depending on the severity of the problem,” officials said.
They also warned that the outage are may expand due to certain circumstances, therefore residents should prepare for water loss.
Water system users are advised to store enough water to exceed their needs during that time, in case the water service interruption is longer than noted. The CSRD said the bathtub is a good place to store water.
