The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) is alerting all Lakeshore Water System customers that the water system has experienced an electrical failure at the lake pumphouse.
This issue has resulted in the inability to pump water into the system.
All Lakeshore waters users are asked to conserve water indoors, shut off all irrigation, and be prepared for a loss of water supply over the next 24 hours. Many customers may already be without water. The reservoirs that still have water are expected to be empty before noon today (Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025)
RDOS crews have been working on the issue since Friday evening (Oct. 3) however, there is currently no estimated time for restoration of service. The RDOS will update system users as soon as information becomes available.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as crews work to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
