The Township of Spallumcheen notified residents on July 27, 2023 that upon the advice of Interior Health and in an abundance of caution, the Eagle Rock water system was placed on a boil water advisory.
Mayor Christine Fraser advises “Providing safe quality drinking water for our community is very important for Council. Staff are making this a top priority and working with Interior Health and industry professionals to get the matter resolved as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience the boil water advisory presents and appreciate your patience while staff work to get this dealt with.”
The Township is advising that all water users in the Eagle Rock Local Area Service should follow the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations related to boil water advisories. If possible, use alternate water sources such as bottled water during this time or bring tap water to a full rolling boil for 1 minute before use.
