Boil Water Advisory continued for City of Nanaimo
Residents of Nanaimo are notified that the Boil Water Advisory for users of the City's drinking water system issued Tuesday November 17 remains in effect. As a precaution, water users should boil their drinking water for one minute at a rolling boil. The public will be informed as soon as the turbidity issues are resolved and the advisory is lifted.
Turbid water entered the system early in the morning of November 18, as expected. It is expected to take a few days to work its way through the system. The City will continue to monitor levels throughout the system, and will advise the public as soon as we can lift the advisory.
For more information, please refer to the City of Nanaimo’s web page (www.nanaimo.ca), listen to the Wave radio at 102.3 FM or follow the City's Twitter account.
Strategic Link: Taking responsibility to be an excellent municipal government.
Turbidity readings are elevated within the City's drinking water supply system. Residents may notice tap water is discoloured.
Water Supply Operations have ensured that its disinfection equipment is effectively disinfecting water throughout the system.
"The City appreciates Nanaimo's patience and understanding as we continue with the boil water advisory. It is through an abundance of caution and concern for our citizens' health that we are taking this measure." - Bill Sims City of Nanaimo
