The District of Muskoka issued another update to the ongoing water situation in Gravenhurst late this afternoon.
A Boil Water Advisory (BWA) was issued on Saturday and remains in effect for Town of Gravenhurst water customers until further notice.
Water Testing Continues
As part of the Boil Water Advisory issued by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU), the District is required to sample water and submit consecutive water tests for a minimum of 48 hours before the Advisory can be lifted. Two sets of samples are required, and it takes 24 hours per sample – this is the fastest allowable time to expedite results.
The District is sampling water and meeting all requirements for testing to ensure compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act – due to the length of time required between samples, we are anticipating the Advisory will be lifted midday on Tuesday.
A water truck with clean, fresh drinking water continues to be available and will be stationed at Canadian Tire in Gravenhurst on Talisman Drive daily from 9:00am – 4:00pm until the Boil Water Advisory has been lifted.
