A water advisory has been put in place for the Lakeview-Rose Valley service area in West 琉璃神社.

The City of West 琉璃神社 and Interior Health has put the advisory in place until further notice because of seasonal turbidity in the Rose Valley Reservoir.

When water becomes turbid, it can affect the chlorine disinfection process. Because of this, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms can attach to suspended particles, which act as a shield against chlorine.

During a water advisory, it is recommended that children, the elderly, and those with a weakened immune system boil water before using or seeking an alternative source.

The city says the bulk filling station at Shannon Lake and Asquith Roads has safe drinking water where people can fill up their bottles hands-free.
