The City of Fernie has issued a water quality advisory due to raised turbidity levels.
The water quality is currently at a “fair” rating.
It’s not a boil water notice, but children, the elderly and those with weekend immune systems may want to seek additional protection.
They should boil water for drinking, washing fruits or vegetables, making beverages or ice, or brushing teeth.
Water should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute.
