A boil water advisory that went into effect Saturday night in Middle Musquodoboit, N.S., has been lifted.
The advisory was lifted at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, according to Halifax Water.
The commission says it began several rounds of testing beginning Sunday morning and all drinking water samples meet established requirements.
A release from Halifax Water outlines steps impacted customers must take before drinking water:
- Flush any cold water taps for 10 minutes.
- Most kitchen and other household water filters typically do not remove bacteria or viruses. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for maintenance on these units.
- Fridges or other appliances that may store water should also be flushed for 10 minutes.
- Dispose of any ice that was made by an icemaker or ice cube tray during the precautionary boil water advisory.
