According to the city, a water quality advisory means children, the elderly, people with weakened immunity and anyone else seeking added protection should use boiled water, or an alternate, safe source, for drinking, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, preparing food, mixing baby formula and making beverages and ice.
Free water is available at the bulk water station at Shannon Lake and Asquith Roads. Water from the station is treated via the Powers Creek treatment plant. Users need to bring their own containers and hoses if needed and ensure they are clean and suitable for potable water.
