"Boiled or bottled water should be used to prepare formula, bottles and baby food, wash vegetables and fruit that will be eaten raw, prepare beverages (including coffee), wash dishes, and brush teeth and rinse mouths," the release said. "Please discard all food, including ice, prepared with tap water after the date and time of this advisory. It is also recommended that you give your pets previously boiled and cooled water." Municipality spokesperson Maude Prud'homme-Séguin said the advisory was prompted by low water pressure in the network.
Vavenby water system back on line following diesel spill
Another crash has occurred on Highway 5 north of Kamloops involving a commercial truck. The latest incident on Saturday, Feb. 18, led to an undetermined amount of diesel spilling into the North Thompson River north of Avola. Fortunately, the spilled diesel was contained near the site of the crash, with the Vavenby water system back to normal operations after having its water intake closed earlier in the day as a precaution.
