ORIGINAL STORY
The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) is advising residents of Whitevale that a planned leak repair will take place on Thursday, May 16 between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m.
During detection work on May 1 and 2, a leak was detected on the water main on Franklyn Road. This planned work on Thursday is to repair that leak.
This work may cause cloudiness, air in the water, or temporary interruptions of water. It is suggested that you store a short term water supply for cooking and toilet use before the repairs begins.
If you experience a water interruption, the RDNO is reminding residents to run a cold water tap closest to where the water enters your house before your hot water tank, home filtration, or taps with aerators, once service has been restored. An outside tap is preferred.
