Water quality advisory for all Kimberley water users
In accordance with Interior Health’s Water Quality Notification Program, the City of Kimberley has issued a water quality advisory for all users.
Recent testing shows that current water quality is fair due to increased turbidity (cloudiness) in the water, the city announced early this afternoon (May 12).
During the “freshet” or spring run-off, the water entering the City of Kimberley’s distribution system may become cloudy or turbid. Due to recent weather, turbidity is starting to rise.
Turbidity is a measurement of water clarity and can be an indicator of a potential health risk.
Water quality is considered to be good when turbidity levels are less than 1 NTU, fair when between 1 to 5 NTU and poor when greater than 5 NTU.
