Water Quality Advisory Rescinded for the Duhamel Water System
August 13, 2024
Nelson, BC: The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is pleased to announce that effective immediately the Water Quality Advisory issued for users on the Duhamel Creek Water System has been rescinded.
On July 18, 2024 a Water Quality Advisory was issued due to water quality test results showing a continued low-level presence of Total Coliform bacteria. These bacteria are commonly found in the environment and are not likely to cause illness; however, their presence does indicate a potential pathway for contaminants to enter into the distribution system.
The source of the contamination was identified and isolated, with corrective actions carried-out by the RDCK Water Operations team. Water quality tests indicate water quality is good and users may return to regular water consumption.
The RDCK appreciates Duhamel water users’ cooperation and patience during this time and apologizes for the inconvenience experienced.
