Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory Recommended Thunderchild Community Water System
As the water distribution system for all houses on the Thunderchild Water system, had water line depressurization due to pump issues at the Water Treatment Plant, a Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory is recommended.
People should be advised to boil all water for drinking, food preparation and brushing of teeth for at least one (1) minute before use.
The Advisory should remain in place until:
1. The water pressure in the distribution lines has been restored;
2. the distribution lines have been flushed; and,
3. two sets of samples, taken at least 24 hours apart, show there is no bacteriological contamination and at 0.2 mg/L of free chlorine residual throughout the system.
