Kalamalka Lake water source back on

Residents had been switched to Duteau Creek because of pump station issues Dec. 26

Kalamalka Lake water is flowing through taps again.

Greater Vernon Water turned the Kalamalka Lake water source back on Monday.

The source was shut down and residents switched to Duteau Creek Dec, 26 after  a ground fault in the pump station electrical system.

"The transformer and all components in the electrical system within the pump station were inspected, tested and corrections were made to alleviate the ground fault issue," said Renee Clark, water quality manager.

"GVW has now returned this water supply back to normal operations."

Customers on the Kalamalka Lake supply may notice a change in water quality such as an increase in hardness.

"This may be of interest to those customers who have in-home water treatment systems or aquariums," said Clark.
