Major Water Main Break in Kamloops: Thousands Without Water for Days, Schools Impacted
A significant water main break in Kamloops has left around eight thousand households without water for over thirty-six hours.

Residents are advised to boil water before drinking until at least two weeks from now. Schools have reopened but are only allowing basic water usage, causing concerns about safety and lost business ahead of a busy long weekend. Communication has been criticized, with some residents receiving alerts too late. The city is reviewing its communication strategy to avoid repeats.
