Elevated water restrictions have been issued for all users on the Village of Slocan water system, effective immediately.
The village said recent rainfall on Sunday stirred up heavy silt flow and created operational issues at the treatment plant.
As a result, residents are asked to cut out all non-essential water use until the system clears.
This includes activities such as lawn and garden sprinkling, excessive laundry, filling pools and car washing.
The village said it is consuming more water than the plant can produce, which could result in a boil-water notice if not rectified.
The elevated restrictions will remain in place until further notice.
