The Cariboo Regional District is advising all water customers in Lac La Hache to boil their drinking water after recent samples showed the presence of Coliform. Interior Health has been notified and the CRD is working to find the source of contamination and fix the problem, which may include disinfecting the system. The boil water advisory will remain in effect until further notice.
The boil water advisory includes several precautionary steps for customers. These include using purchased bottled water or boiled water for drinking, brushing teeth, dishwashing, preparing food, and making ice. Water should come to a roiling boil for one minute, then cool to an appropriate temperature before using. The advisory will remain in effect until the Cariboo Regional District and Interior Health are confident the water is safe. When satisfactory results are reported, customers will be notified that the advisory has been lifted.
