❗Users of both the Eagle Bay and Saratoga Water Systems are advised that a WATER QUALITY ADVISORY has been placed on the system effective June 12, 2026.

🔷 People with weakened immune systems, and/or those water users wishing additional protection should take precautions when drinking, washing fruits & vegetables, making beverages or ice, or when brushing teeth. Until notified, these users are advised to:
• Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute, or
• Use an alternate, safe source of water.

🔷 Currently the turbidity in both the Eagle Bay and Saratoga Water Systems has not reached the level required for a boil water notice, but out of an abundance of caution, this WATER QUALITY ADVISORY is being put in place.

The advisory has been issued in consultation with Interior Health due to elevated turbidity in the water from the Ross Creek debris flow, recent rain and increased stream flow.
For more information, contact the CSRD Utilities Department at 1-888-248-2773.

It is now safe to swim at Pebble Beach and Sandy Beach, located at 2475 Blind Bay Road in Electoral Area G.

💧 Water testing conducted by Interior Health show that E.Coli bacteria levels in the lake water have dropped enough to lift the swim advisory.

Luckily, you can FireSmart your property in a few simple steps:

🍁 Clear leaves and debris from your gutters
🧯 Store flammable materials at least 10 metres from your home
🪴 Swap combustible plants for fire-resistant vegetation.
