🚰 BOIL WATER ORDER LIFTED 🚰
Great news for McAdam residents! The official boil water advisory has been fully rescinded.
As per GNB guidelines:
After an advisory has been lifted, any pipe or device containing tap water should be cleaned:
flush out water pipes to ensure the water is safe before using. To do this, turn on cold water at all faucets and run the water until it gets noticeably colder, which can take several minutes. You should begin with the faucet that is highest in your home or building and make your way to the bottom, turning on all faucets.
run water softeners through a regeneration cycle, following the manufacturer’s directions
drain and refill hot water tanks set below 45°C/110°F (normal setting is 60°C/140°F)
remove and clean all screens and aerators on taps
replace water filters in water treatment devices, following the manufacturer’s instructions
properly flush and sanitize all ice, drink and ice cream machines before reuse
