WATER ADVISORY WRAP-UP
2018/10/10 12:00 pm
Newfoundland Advisory Map
In Newfoundland, BWAs (Boil Water Advisories) were issued to Caplin Cove (Southport Pond) due to the water system not having
a disinfection system, Meadows (Meaters Pond) due to the distribution system undergoing maintenance or repairs, and to Elliston (Big Pond)
due to water entering the distribution system and after a minimum 20 minute contact time lacking a free chlorine residual of at least
0.3 mg/l or equivalent CT value. Advance notice of a partial BWA was issued in Corner Brook due to Capital Works improvements to the
distribution system; the advisory will be in effect tomorrow (Oct 11).
British Columbia Advisory Map
In British Columbia, a Boil Water Notice (BWN) was issued by Vancouver Island Health Authority to Arbutus Building Supply as the water
does not meet the prescribed standard under the DWPR (Drinking Water Protection Regulation).
Saskatchewan Advisory Map

resulting in system pressure loss or reduced storage of treated water, to the Town of Wilkie due to hydrant repair, and to the Village
of Pleasantdale, the cause of which was not specified except with the general statement that the safety of the drinking water
supply "can not be ensured at all times."
