In Newfoundland, in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, a partial BWA has been issued, following on the issuance of a previous advisory last week.
Both are in effect due to the water distribution system undergoing maintenance or repairs.

however no BWAs have been issued. A water outage and road closure advisory is in effect today (Sept 19). The water will be shut off all day
in order to make repairs to the distribution system, however there is no BWA in effect at this time.
