GVW - Precautionary Boil Water Notice - Shantz Road

April 30, 2024

In conjunction with Interior Health, the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) advises some customers supplied by Greater Vernon Water (GVW) in the area along Shantz Road (see Map for affected area) are on a precautionary Boil Water Notice (BWN) until sampling results confirm the drinking water is safe.

An unplanned repair resulted in a loss of water pressure and increased turbidity to some customers in the affected area. As a result, the RDNO is issuing a precautionary BWN to affected areas, flushing, and sampling to ensure the continued safety of the water system.

What should customers do?

Residents in the area may experience reduced water pressure, discolouration of the water, and/or air. Please run a cold water tap until the water has cleared. An outside tap is preferred. The level of service and treatment provided by the RDNO has been maintained; however, customers in the affected area should boil their water for at least one minute when preparing any food, drinking, washing fruits & vegetables, making beverages or ice or when brushing teeth.

Updates will be posted to www.rdno.ca/news (filter by Water Notices). You can also subscribe to

When the notice is rescinded, it will be hand delivered.

If you have any questions, please contact the RDNO Utilities Department at 250-550-3700.
