Ongoing: Round Lake (Cow Town) Water System Boil Water Advisory Update

January 16th, 2025

To All Water Users of Round Lake (Cow Town) Water System

Testing on the Round Lake (Cow Town) Water System has found bacteria in the water. Okanagan Indian Band (OKIB) is taking immediate action to address the issue:

•Water sampling has been completed, and additional in-house testing is underway today.

•The system has been disinfected with chlorine, as recommended by First Nations Health Authority.

•We have submitted water samples to an independent laboratory to assist OKIB Water Operators in determining the next steps to correct this situation. This issue may take two or more weeks to resolve.

Please continue to boil your water until you receive official notice that it is no longer required. Regular updates will be provided.
