Tobiano residents under precautionary boil water advisory

KAMLOOPS — Tobiano residents are under a precautionary boil water advisory due to an electrical malfunction.

In an email to residents, Corix Utilities says the malfunction happened over the weekend and affected the company’s ability to replenish the Tobiano water system.

While the malfunction has been corrected, the water system is low and will take a few days to return to normal. That means inconsistent water pressure for residents, as well as potential temporary loss of water.

Residents are asked to use water for only essential purposes.

In addition, those using water for the following purposes is instructed to boil it for one minute before using it:

  • Drinking and ice cubes
  • Liquids or food (e.g. tea or soup) that will not be boiled for at least one (1) minute
  • Washing fruits and vegetables being eaten raw
  • Brushing teeth or cleaning dental and medical appliances
  • Preparing baby food and infant formula
  • Bathing infants
