The District of Peachland has issued a boil water advisory, and it could be in place for a few days.
The district said the notice was issued because of turbidity and issues with the chlorination system at the Peachland Creek water intake.
The boil water notice will likely stay in place for a few days, the district added, until the issue with the chlorine system has been completely fixed.
