A boil water advisory is in effect in the community of Ashern.
Scheduled maintenance to the water system will lead to intermittent loss of water pressure in the distribution system. Distribution depressurization can compromise the safety of the water supply. A boil water advisory is being issued starting at 8:00 am on December 14, 2021, to ensure the protection of
public health.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Until further notice, all water used for consumption should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before it is used for:
Drinking and ice-making
Preparing beverages, such as infant formula
Preparing food, including washing fruits and vegetables
Brushing teeth
It is not necessary to boil tap water used for other household purposes, such as laundry or washing dishes. Adults and older children that are able to avoid swallowing the water can wash, bathe, or shower.
Young children should be sponge bathed. If boiling is not practical, an alternate and safe supply of water should be used for consumptive purposes; i.e. bottled water.
