The water quality advisory is still on for the Kelowna Water Utility so it depends on which part of town you're in ... who you're serviced by

It is much better to go to the source for information on things like that.

Our 2yr old has the same probelm. That said, we've been noticing little like "gnawing" marks on the fronds of our new palm.


Stay tuned...

My daughter was in town visiting a friend in the North End, down by the foot of Knox Mountain. She turned on the kitchen faucet and said the water smelled like feces.
The only real safe water in the Central Okanagan is Rutland Water Works water. Deep wells and a closed system. Excellent back flow prevention system as well.

I have to disagree with you on that one...Our water in Glenrosa is also excellent quality fed by the Powers Creek Watershed. No turbidity or boil water problems here.

Your water may be excellent, but it is from an open source and therefore open to contamination.

No its not...it goes through the filtration system, therefore clean out of our taps. This is not all of Westbank as I am sure you know...as many are a boil water notice. ☺
