A boil water notice has been issued in Ymir following a leak.
The Regional District of Central Kootenay says it’s taking the precaution due to depressurization of the distribution system while they make repairs.
The RDCK and Interior Health are recommending that all customers drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice.
The RDCK says it will monitor water quality but didn’t say how long the notice is expected to remain in place.
The Ymir water system has 108 active connections and draws on Quartz Creek.
