BOIL WATER ADVISORY – RESCINDED
For Residents of the Grizzly Ridge Subdivision
Last updated: June 12, 2025
Dear Water Users,
We are pleased to inform you that the Boil Water Advisory for the Grizzly Ridge subdivision has been officially lifted, effective immediately.
Background and Update:
On Monday, June 9th, Big White Water Utility, with support from the Big White Fire Department, completed a full high-velocity flush of the transmission line from the Powder Basin source through to the end of Grizzly Ridge. By operating both hydrants in the subdivision, we were able to turn over the volume of water in the pipeline three times. This process significantly improved water clarity and also provided valuable data on fire flow capacity in the area.
Following the flush, new water quality samples were collected and submitted to the laboratory on Tuesday, June 10th. The results, along with our internal monitoring data, confirmed that turbidity levels have returned to normal for the Powder Basin source—currently ranging between 0.58 and 0.62 NTU, which is within the expected range of 0.4 to 0.8 NTU.
Based on these findings, Interior Health’s Water Safety Officer has authorized the rescinding of the Boil Water Advisory.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at utilities@bigwhite.com.
