Boil water notice in place in Savona, Lac Le Hache

Oct 5, 2024 | 6:53 AM

SAVONA, B.C. — The Thompson Nicola Regional District issued a Boil Water Notice for the Savona Community Water System at 3 p.m. on Friday (Oct. 4).

Due to abnormally high turbidity levels (exceeding 5 Nephelometric Turbidity units), it is imperative that water be boiled or disinfected until further notice.

Turbidity is a measure of the degree to which the water loses its transparency due to the presence of suspended particulates, according to Lenntech.com.

Water intended for drinking, washing fruits or vegetables, making beverages or ice, or brushing teeth must be boiled for one minute.

The acceptable boiling or disinfection method is to bring water to a rapid boil for at least one minute.
