Water quality advisory issued for Windermere
A Water Quality Advisory has been issued for the Windermere Water System and Sun Valley RV Park/Gas Station.
It is recommended children, the elderly, those with weakened immune systems or anyone who wants additional protection to use boiled water or a safe alternative for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice or when brushing teeth until further notice. For those boiling water, it should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute.
The Advisory has been issued out of an abundance of caution after a routine inspection of the reservoir identified areas where cleaning was required. Following this type of work, water samples are taken to ensure bacteriological results come back clean. Until those results are returned, the Water Quality Advisory will remain in effect.
Important note: Copper Point, Swansea, Timber Ridge, Holland Creek, and the rest of the East Side Water System are OUTSIDE the Water Quality Advisory area and are not included in the Advisory.
