The RDEK has issued a water quality advisory for a portion of the Windermere water system and Sun Valley RV Park and gas station.
The advisory does not include Copper Point, Swansea, Timber Ridge, Holland Creek and the rest of the East Side water system.
While it is not a boil water notice, it is recommended that children, the elderly, those with weakened immune systems or anyone who wants additional protection should boil their water until further notice.
Water should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute.
RDEK staff say the advisory issued out of an abundance of caution after a routine inspection of the reservoir identified areas where cleaning was required.
It will be lifted once water samples come back clean.
A map of the affected area can be found here.
