The Municipality of McCreary is now under a Boil Water Advisory.
The advisory, which is in effect immediately, is because of a major distribution failure that occured on October 7. The advisory is being put in place to ensure public health protection.
Until further notice, all water used for consumption should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute.
This includes:
- Drinking and ice making;
- Preparing beverages, such as infant formula;
- Preparing food, including washing fruits and vegetables, and
- Brushing teeth.
It is not required to boil tap water used for other household purposes, such as laundry or washing dishes. During this, young children should be sponge bathed.
