British Columbia Advisory Map
In British Columbia, the City of West Kelowna issued a WQA to the entire Lakeview-Rose Valley water service. A BWN was issued last week due to turbidity only for the Lakeview Heights neighourhood.
That BWN was rescinded but the newly issued WQA applies to a wider region, the entire Lakeview-Rose Valley water service, due to increased turbidity in the Rose Valley Reservoir from an early season
algae bloom. According to the West Kelowna officials: "Turbidity affects the performance of the chlorine disinfection process because bacteria, protozoa, viruses and other microorganisms can attach
themselves to suspended particles in the turbid water and these particles can interfere with disinfection by shielding the microorganisms from the chlorine."

since been disinfected and is ready to resume deliveries. Affected residents are still being advised not to drink their water until their tanks are cleaned and refilled with newly delivered water.
