Repairs to the Horse Lake Water System is prompting a water service disruption and boil water notice.
The Cariboo Regional District said that on Wednesday, May 1st, repairs will be made to a damaged blowoff along a section of Mulligan Drive east of Granberg.
Water supply to those properties will be turned off from around 8:00am to 2:00pm while the repair is being completed, with the boil water notice in effect after the repairs.
They said the notice will continue until two successive water samples with acceptable results are returned.
During the notice, residents are asked to bring their water to a rolling boil for at least a minute before consuming, cooking, brushing teeth, washing food, dishes and animals.
It’s recommended to use hand sanitizer after hand washing with water from the system.
A system-wide flushing will also occur after the repairs until Friday, May 3rd, to remove any built up sediment and other materials in the water, and residents are asked to run their water until clear when sedimentation is observed.
