Nelson, BC: The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is pleased to announce that effective immediately the precautionary Boil Water Notice issuedfor users on the Fauquier Water System has been rescinded.
On July 30, 2025 a precautionary Boil Water Notice was issued due to a mechanical failure of the pump for the chemical disinfection system resulting in free chlorine residual concentrations within the distribution system that were below the minimum levels outlined in Health Canada’s guidelines for drinking water.
The repairs have been completed, and water quality tests indicate the water quality is good.
The RDCK appreciates Fauquier water users’ cooperation and patience during this time and apologizes for the inconvenience experienced.
