Boil water advisory lifted in Corner Brook
The City of Corner Brook has lifted a boil water advisory affecting a small part of the city.
The city released the following statement on Facebook:
“On December 24th, a leak was detected affecting the addresses of 18 Park St, and 13 & 20 Commercial Street.
“A repair was conducted on December 27th. The City of Corner Brook repairs many leaks throughout the year. Some require boil water advisories while others do not, in compliance with Provincial regulations guided by Service NL. This particular repair method would not normally have required one. The staff involved with such repairs are specially trained for such tasks.
“On January 3rd, the City received an anonymous complaint expressing concern around the repair and some illnesses in the community. A boil water advisory was immediately issued until samples could be taken and tested. Business and property owners were contacted as soon as possible. We’re pleased to say these samples came up clear of any hazards, and the boil water advisory was lifted on January 6th.”
