Island Health has issued a boil water advisory for the entire Cherry Creek Water District.

The advisory was issued on Sunday, Jan. 21 due to heavy rains causing turbidity levels “to exceed water quality standards,” according to an alert on the Cherry Creek Water District’s website, www.cherrycreekwater.com.

All drinking water should be boiled for a minimum of two minutes prior to consumption.

The advisory is in effect until further notice.
