Lifting of the boil water advisory on the municipal water system

The Municipality of Chelsea's Public Works Department wishes to inform the population that the boil water advisory affecting residents served by the water system has been lifted.

Residents are now able to safely consume water from the municipal aqueduct.

The boil water advisory was issued by the Municipality on Tuesday, October 18 due to the presence of E.coli bacteria in one of the water system samples. Following the disinfection protocol carried out by the Municipality, the samples taken confirm the return of the water's potability.

Actions to be taken when the boil advisory is lifted:

• Run water from all faucets with cold water for a few minutes. Follow the same procedure for drinking fountains and troughs, if applicable.
• Empty, wash and disinfect ice machines.
• Drain outdoor faucets.
• If you have a water treatment device, check with the manufacturer to determine what steps to take.
