The city put of a press release on Aug. 16 saying a single water sample from the Big Eddy distribution system showed "abnormal bacteriologica."

The city in consultation with Interior Health, which does the water sampling, put out a precautionary water advisory as a result.

Stoke FM asked the city and Interior Health for more information but neither had anyone available for an interview.
