Extreme Water Advisory in Coldstream, Lavington! Make sure you are not affected.

No Water No School

Thu, 2010-01-14 07:16.

Local News

A water contamination in the Lavington and Coldstream area is so bad residents are being told not only not to drink the water,  but they should not use it for cooking, making ice, bathing, showering or brushing their teeth. 

Three schools have been closed due to the contamination of their water source.   School District 22 Superintendent, Bev Rundell says Coldstream and Lavington Elementary as well as Kal Secondary Schools will close for today.

Officials tell us a landslide resulted in manure getting into the reservoir, resulting in a severe contamination.

Vernon RCMP and Auxiliary spent three hours going door to door  last night in the pouring raining telling residents not to drink the water.

Greater Vernon Water says customers affected are in Lavington and Coldstream, as far west as McClounie Road, who's water supply is from the Antwerp Springs source.   Bottled water is being supplied for those affected and can be picked up at the Lavington and Coldstream Fire Departments.
