turbidity.
Québec Advisory Map
In Québec, in Saint-Sauveur, water interruption is scheduled for tomorrow (May 28) due to work at the water booster
station. When water is restored, a preventive BWA will be in effect for a portion of one street. A localized BWA was issued to
12 residences on one street in Baie-Comeau due to an aqueduct break. A previously issued BWA in Brossard was lifted.
Manitoba Advisory Map
In Manitoba, a BWA was issued to a portion of RM of Gimli due to a line break causing pressure loss.
Newfoundland and Labrador Advisory Map
In Newfoundland and Labrador, previously issued BWAs were lifted for Irishtown-Summerside, Port Albert-Beaverton Pond,
as well as for Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
Alberta Advisory Map
In Alberta, the latest update on the Fort McMurray flooding disaster is that The Regional Municipality of Wood
Buffalo is hoping to have the boil water advisory lifted for multiple neighbourhoods over the next couple of weeks. The first
phase of advisory lifting has already occured as the BWA for Northern Lights Regional Health Centre was rescinded by Alberta
Health Services on May 25th. One of the reservoirs was found to have been structurally damaged by the flooding, and repairs
are ongoing. Once completed, disinfection and flushing of the entire distribution system will occur. Crews are continuing to
flush neighbourhood hydrants using dechlorination pucks, and as a result, the odor of chlorine in the water has increased.
Residents are assured that the chlorine level remains below the limit established by Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality.
