Water Advisory Lifted For GVRD
From the CBC. This applies to the last of the effected areas - Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and Burnaby…
“Medical health officer Dr. Patricia Daly said turbidity levels in the Seymour watershed have dropped low enough to allow people to drink unboiled, unbottled water.
“With the continuing downward trends in turbidity, and with nearly 1,000 water tests for bacteriological results being negative, apart from one false positive, the medical health officers believe that the water is now safe for people to drink.
“So we’re advising all our hospitals, our long-term care facilities, our day cares in schools that they no longer need to serve bottled water, and the public can resume drinking water from their taps.”
Updated: I made tea around dinner time and it tasted terrible. I’d be suspect of the water for the time being.
