EMERGENCY WATER SHUT OFF AND BOIL WATER ADVISORY
FOR A PORTION OF THE FLIN FLON PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM
Issued by James Reitlo, Interim Director of Works and Operations, City of Flin Flon
Emergency maintenance of the water system will lead to loss of water pressure and a water shut off for approximately one hour for a portion of the City of Flin Flon’s water distribution system serving the following addresses:
ODD: 1 – 11 EVANS AVENUE
Distribution depressurization can compromise the safety of the water supply; therefore, a Boil Water Advisory is being issued beginning, October 29, 2024, at 10:00 AM, for the specific addresses listed, 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 can avoid swallowing 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.
To avoid burn injuries from hot water, caution should be taken. Please keep young children away from boiling water. Place kettles and pots away from the counter and stove edges.
Please share this information with other people who use the tap water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (ex: renters, tenants, staff, or clients).
This notice can also be posted in common areas where people tend to gather.
DURATION
The Boil Water Advisory will remain in effect until the water supplied by this water system no longer presents a risk to public health.
You will be notified when the advisory has been rescinded.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact James Reitlo, Interim Director of Works and Operations at (204) 687-0499.
