Scotty Creek Agricultural Area Boil Water
Notice - Downgraded to a Water Quality Advisory June 12/09 |
|
BMID has rescinded the temporary Boil Water Notice for
the Scotty Creek agricultural area. The alert has been downgraded
to a Water Quality Advisory. Spring runoff in Scotty Creek has subsided
and turbidity levels are now reduced to levels where the Boil Water
Notice can be lifted. The turbidity levels are still above 1.0 NTU and
there are elevated levels of pathogens in the Scotty Creek source water.
Chlorination remains in place on this water supply. Under the Water
Quality Advisory, it is recommended that persons wishing to take extra
precautions should boil the water for one minute and then refrigerate it
in a clean, covered container. For further protection, water intended
for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or brushing
teeth, should be boiled as noted above, or use a safe alternative. The
approximately 40 homes affected by this seasonal Water Quality Advisory
have been notified directly on an individual door-to-door basis.
Accordingly, these same properties will be notified when the Water
Quality Advisory is removed. PLEASE NOTE THIS DOES NOT AFFECT
CUSTOMERS IN THE SCOTTY CREEK SUBDIVISION OR CUSTOMERS IN THE MAJORITY OF
AREAS WITHIN BMID.

Boil Water Notice - Scotty Creek Agricultural Service Area
(Old Vernon Rd N/ Scotty Creek Rd/Lakha Rd)
REMOVED JUNE 12/09 - DOWNGRADED TO WATER
QUALITY ADVISORY. |
|
BMID has delivered door tags & notices to approximately
40 domestic water users in the north agricultural area of Black Mtn
Irrig District. This boil water notice was necessary because, even
though the water quality is currently below 1.0 NTU and microbiological
levels are all low, there is the potential for elevated turbidity levels
due to increased seasonal demands. At this time of year the water
supply must be augmented from Scotty Creek. Scotty Creek water has
elevated turbidity levels and a high level of colour (brownish tinge).
The regular water supply will be supplemented by water from Scotty Creek
intermittently over the next few months, as demand requires.
The areas affected are: 2551 to 4310 Old Vernon Rd
N. 4530 to 4660 Scotty Creek Road. 2420 to 3091 Lakha
Road. This does NOT affect residents of the Scotty Creek
subdivision or the majority of areas within BMID.
There is good news for those properties affected
by this seasonal advisory! BMID is undertaking works
required to eliminate Scotty Creek for domestic water purposes.
This project will be tendered within the next 2 months and we are
hopeful it will be completed by the late fall of 2009.
