The Water Quality Advisory that had been in effect since July 1 due to a watermain repair in Timber Ridge has been rescinded.
Regular water consumption can resume.
Original Story July 1, 4 p.m.
The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) has issued a water quality advisory for Timber Ridge and a portion of the East Side Water System.
Impacted areas include Hilltop, Baltac, Pedley Heights, Nappe, Lake Drive, Highway Drive, Stoddart, and Sand Road areas.
Windermere, Holland Creek or the cottages at Copper Point are not under the advisory.
The RDEK said the advisory follows an emergency repair on a watermain on Timbermont Road.
Although it is not a boil water notice, children, the elderly, those with weakened immune systems or anyone who wants additional protection may want to boil water for extra protection.
Following the repair work, samples will be taken to ensure bacteriological results come back clean, which the RDEK warns could take several days.
