The city announced the advisory on Wednesday afternoon, stating it’s effective immediately and is due to above-normal turbidity.

The City of West Kelowna says the advisory is in effect until further notice because of high turbidity.

The city said water conditions have improved at the Okanagan Lake intake, but noted that a water quality advisory will remain in effect.

In consultation with Interior Health, the notice has been issued due to increased turbidity in Okanagan Lake.

West Kelowna and the Interior Health Authority have elevated the water quality advisory in the Sunnyside/Pritchard System to a boil water notice.

The City of West Kelowna has cancelled its 2020 Music in the Park events because of coronavirus restrictions.

Issued on Friday, May 15, the advisory is in addition to the water quality advisory that was issued on May 9 for the West Kelowna Estates system.
