Boil Water Notice for 108 Mile

A Boil Water Notice has been put into effect in 108 Mile.

The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) is issuing the Notice as a precautionary measure due to what they say is a “substantial water main break and loss of pressure in large areas in the system.”

The CRD says all users of the 108 Water System are being asked to bring water to a rolling boil of at least one minute before using water for:

• Drinking (or use an alternative, safe source of water)
• Cooking (if not boiled)
• Washing hands and brushing teeth
• Washing fruits and vegetables to be eaten raw,
• And watering animals.

The notice will remain in effect for further notice.

The CRD and Interior Health will be conducting tests and will notify customers and residents of 108 Mile when the water test results are satisfactory for the notice to be lifted.

For more information and further questions, the CRD asks customers to call the CRD’s Environmental Services.
