West Kelowna Water Crisis Resolved

0:00Good news for about 300 homes in West Kelowna, British Columbia. City officials have lifted a do not consume order on tap water after tests confirmed it is safe to drink again. The trouble started last week with a security breach at the talus reservoir in the talus ridge and Shannon Woods areas. Someone tried to force open a rooftop hatch, setting off an alarm and leading to a police probe. Residents like those in the affected neighborhoods had to go five days without using their tap water. Relying instead on bottled supplies hauled from stores, police identified three youths who thought the site was an abandoned bunker worth exploring. They drilled through some bolts, realized it was a water reservoir, and quickly left the scene. One even came forward after seeing news reports. No charges are laid yet, but the investigation continues as the city ramps up security with better fencing, cameras, locks, and clear warning signs. And reservoirs to prevent repeats.
