Kal Lake Boil Water Notice Remains In Effect Over Weekend


It appears that customers on the Kal Lake water source will remain on a boil water notice until at least Monday. That's the word from the North Okanagan Regional District's engineering manager. Arnold Badke says that although some tests have come back negative over the past few days, staff are still negotiating with Interior Health about when to reduce the notice to an advisory or end it completely. Badke stresses that there is no indication of e-coli in the water. He blames the high bacterial count on the large growth of calcium carbonate much later in the summer than normal.
