Boil water advisories lifted in Savona, Cache Creek

Feb 21, 2025 | 3:47 PM

SAVONA AND CACHE CREEK, B.C. — A long-term boil water notice for Savona and a much shorter-term boil water advisory for Cache Creek were both lifted Friday (Feb. 21).

In a Voyent Alert! message sent to residents, the Thompson Nicola Regional District (TNRD) says residents using the Savona Community Water System are no longer advised to boil their water before consuming it.

The boil water notice for Savona was initially put in place nearly five months ago, on October 4, 2024. That was the day the TNRD noted turbidity levels exceeding 5 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity units).

Savona remains subject to a water quality advisory, as the turbidity level remains higher than 1 NTU but has dropped below 5 NTU.

Residents with compromised immune systems, including pregnant women and the elderly, are still advised to boil their water before consuming it.

In Cache Creek, a boil water advisory was put in place last Sunday (Feb. 16) due to an equipment failure in the municipal water treatment plant.

The plant was repaired two days later, but the advisory remained in place while officials completed water quality testing. It was lifted Friday.
