Dr. Jim Chirico, acting medical officer of health, announces the lifting of the boil water advisory placed on the Port Loring water supply, effective immediately. Water samples submitted on October 8, 2009 revealed satisfactory results.
As a precautionary measure, residential users of the communal water supply in that area are advised to run each of their cold water taps for one minute on first-time use. Commercial users should run all cold water taps for two minutes on first-time use.
