By Nelson Daily Staff

The advisroy is due to the high level of bacteria — positive for total coliform bacteria.
Interior Health suggests residents use these precautionary measures:
- Precautionary measures can be made by not consuming water.
- Please boil all drinking water.
- Do not brush teeth with tap water, cook or wash food and make ice.

Interior Health will continue to test the water of Smallwood Creek. Following two samples that come back cleared as negative, the Boil Water Advisory will be lifted.
