There’s a boil water order in place for residents on the Port Hastings water system.
It’s due to a major water main break in the area causing a massive loss in water from the storage tower.
Water conservation orders are also in place until further notice.
Officials suggest you bring your tap water to a rolling boil for up to two minutes.
Other tips:
• Cool water before using for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth and preparing beverages and food.
To conserve water:
• Do not take baths and take short showers;
• Do not wash vehicles;
• Use the dishwasher or clothes washer only with a full load.
Please share widely with neighbours, friends, visitors, and members of vulnerable populations such as seniors who may be living alone.
