Effective immediately, the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has issued a Boil Water Notice for the Lac la Hache Water System.
The boil-water notice is being issued because of a contamination of the system with bacteria.
All users of the Lac la Hache Water System are asked to use hand sanitizer after washing hands and to boil water for a minimum of one minute before:
• Drinking (or use an alternate, safe source of water)
• Cooking (if not boiled)
• Brushing teeth
• Washing dishes
• Washing fruits and vegetables to be eaten raw
• Watering animals
The CRD has contacted Interior Health to request its co-operation in investigating this matter.
This Boil Water Notice will remain in effect until the public is otherwise notified.
For more information, please contact the Environmental Services Department at the CRD at 1-800-665-1636 or 250-392-3351.
