Residents in the Round Lake area of Kenora are now under a boil water advisory.

Kenora’s Water and Wastewater crews have been doing repairs in the area.

Boiling removes harmful bacteria in the water that may cause illness. Once boiled the water can be stored in the refrigerator in a clean food-safe container and should be used for other activities where it may be ingested, including brushing teeth or soaking false teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, added to uncooked food or drinks, and making ice cubes.

The advisory will remain in effect until a notice of rescind is issued.
