UPDATE:
Water has been restored and the break has been fixed.
ORIGINAL:
A water-main break in the Larkin Local Area Service in Spallumcheen has resulted in water being shut off to residents on Larkin Cross Road between 4434 and 4559.
Crews are working to repair the break.
There is traffic control in place on Larkin Cross Road with alternating single-lane traffic. Please obey personnel and signage in place.
After completion of the repair, the system will be flushed, and it's recommended affected customers run a cold-water tap until the water runs clear.
"Because of this break, a boil water advisory has been issued for residents in the entire Larkin Water Area Service in an abundance of caution to ensure public safety," the township advises.
The advisory will remain in place until Interior Health Association is satisfied with the water quality tests.
If possible, use alternate water sources such as bottled water during this time or bring tap water to a full rolling boil for one minute before use.
