Boil water notice issued to Penticton residents south of Brantford Avenue

Boil water notice issued

The City of Penticton has issued a boil water notice for residents south of Brantford Avenue after a water main failure at Lakeside Road and Brantford Avenue is impacting the system.

Residents will need to boil their drinking water for at least one minute before drinking.

The water main is experiencing low water pressure in the water system, which is impacting homes directly south.

The city said that no water pressure may lead to contaminants entering the water system and further sampling and testing are currently being conducted in the system.

Crews are aware of the situation and are working to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

The boil water advisory notice to the municipal water supply for the area south of Brantford Avenue managed by the City of Penticton, and the boundaries of the area affected, include:

Lakeside Road all residents south of Skaha Marina to City limits

  • Brantford Avenue – all residents
  • Finnerty Road – all residents
  • Derenzy Place – all residents
  • Lakeside Ct. – all residents
  • Smythe Dr. – all residents

Residents affected must bring their water to a rapid, rolling boil for at least one minute prior to using it for domestic purposes, including drinking, making infant formula and juices, cooking, brushing teeth, washing raw foods and making ice. Alternatively, residents may use bottled water.

The boil water notice will be in effect until the City of Penticton and Interior Health deems the water safe to drink.

City crews are on site of a water main break near Skaha Marina south parking lot. This is expected to affect more than 200 homes south of the break, including those on the following streets listed below.

  • Roads potentially affected by water outage include:
  • Lakeside Rd: All residences South of Skaha Marina to City limits
