CARP – A precautionary boil water advisory has been issued for some users of the Carp communal well water system because of a watermain break.
The advisory affects about 180 water users for all the addresses on the following streets:
-Carp Highlands Court
-3849 – 3894 Carp Road
-Charlie’s Lane
-Hidden Lake Crescent
-Juanita Avenue
-Ridgeview Drive
-Seagram Heights
-Snelgrove Drive
You’re asked to bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for all consumption purposes, including drinking, making juice, ice and infant formula, as well as for use in food preparation.
After boiling, the water should be left to cool before being used, or it should be placed in clean containers to cool in the refrigerator.
Boiled water should be used when brushing teeth and to rinse dishes after washing. Other non-consumption uses, such as showering, are safe.
If you are unable to boil water, you should consume only bottled water.
The break was caused by private construction activity and has been isolated for repair by City crews. The advisory is in effect until further notice.
