After sampling was completed and showed no detectable traces of coliform bacteria, Interior Health authorized the rescinding of the boil water notice for the Lac La Hache water system.
The Cariboo Regional District issued the notice on November 15th to boil water out of an abundance of caution following connection of the public water system with a new water source that required distribution lines to be opened up and exposed.
The CRD said users of the system can resume normal water usage as there is no risk to public health.
At this time the Lac La Hache drinking water system remains unchlorinated however the Cariboo Regional District is in the final stages of commissioning the chlorination system.
Once completed, the drinking water supply will be chlorinated as the method of ongoing disinfection of the water supply.
