A water quality advisory for Greater Vernon is expected to remain in place until Wednesday or Thursday, depending on test results. A BC Hydro power failure Monday night briefly disabled part of the treatment process, meaning some partly treated water entered the system. As a precaution, the elderly, young children and people with weakened immune systems are advised to boil any ingested water for at least one minute. Water manager Al Cotsworth says residents are also asked to conserve water as well, as the outage caused reservoirs to be lowered. He says it's getting better but they're still only about one-third full. People are asked to refrain from watering their lawns, or to delay doing laundry until Wednesday.
