Boil water order LIFTED for Sackville

The boil water advisory for parts of Sackville has been lifted.  

The municipality posted the news to its website and social media channels just before 3pm on Thursday. 

The message advises that people affected by the boil water order run their cold water for 15 minutes to flush out their plumbing. It also advises that water dispensers and ice makers be cleaned out to ensure any possibility contaminated water is removed.

New Brunswick Public Health requires two consecutive sets of water samples to test clear of E. coli and total coliforms before lifting a boil water advisory.  Tantramar Public Works sent in a second set of samples Wednesday afternoon, and published the lifted boil water advisory about 24 hours later.
