KAMLOOPS – Water supply has been restored to parts of Kamloops in the British Columbia Interior, but it remains unsuitable for consumption as crews work to fix a water main break that caused the outage.
The City of Kamloops says on social media that trucks supplying potable water will continue to visit four locations in the eastern part of the city around the clock until Friday.
In the meantime, residents of the area affected by the break are asked to temporarily stop using water again today until 6 p.m. as crews undertake a critical repair of the water main.
The city says the restriction on water use is to ensure the city can resume service quickly following the repair.
The water main break left parts of Kamloops without water for days.
The restrictions had already been extended earlier in the week after crews’ first attempt to fix the broken main was unsuccessful, requiring a “more robust” repair.
