START UP MAY LONG WEEKEND
We do our best to have water running through the lines by the May Long Weekend however we will not risk the expense and damage that will occur should the temperatures not be warm enough to ensure that the water will not freeze. Please check our website for further updates closer to the May Long Weekend.
ANNUAL BOIL WATER ADVISORY for Seasonal Start-Up
Every year once the water treatment plant begins operation there is an initial BOIL WATER ADVISORY in place until tests confirm water meets Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality. During this BOIL WATER ADVISORY period all water should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before it is used for:
- Drinking and ice making
- Beverage preparation, such as infant formula
- Preparing food
- Brushing teeth
It is not necessary to boil tap water used for other household purposes, such as laundry or washing dishes. Adults and older children that are able to avoid swallowing the water can wash, bathe, or shower. Young children should be sponge bathed.
If boiling is not feasible, an alternate and safe supply of water should be used, such as commercially available bottled water.
