Water supply on ferry contaminated by floor cleaner
Passengers and crew aboard the Queen of Oak Bay had to resort to bottled water Tuesday after the vessel’s potable water supply was contaminated by floor cleaner.
“Water was immediately turned off and bottled water and barrels of potable water were brought on board to ensure customers and crew still had access,” said Reet Sidhu. Sidhu said B.C. Ferries expects to have test results back soon and will update customers as soon as that happens. One passenger on the Queen of Oak Bay said that’s meant no water for tea or coffee and a limited food menu.
