A boil-water notice has been issued for Chemainus.

Residents are urged to boil water for at least one minute before using it for drinking, cooking and brushing teeth.

It is safe to wash clothes and bathe in the water without boiling it, said the Municipality of North Cowichan. The notice was issued Saturday in consultation with Island Health.

The advisory is in effect throughout the long weekend. An update will be issued on Tuesday.

The notice is a precautionary measure because of higher turbidity or cloudiness in the water.

According to Island Health, turbidity can be the result of clay, silt, organic matter, plankton and micro-organisms. “High turbidity can interfere with the disinfection of drinking water and be a source of disease-causing micro-organisms.”

The following is a press release from Lt. Gordon McCraw, Emergency Management Director — At approximately 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, reports were received of low or no water pressure from Cape Meares community residents.  The Oceanside Water District was contacted and discovered that the 200,000 gallon water reservoir was empty.  Efforts are underway to locate and repair the breach that emptied the tank.

For any residents that do have pressure – there is a “boil water” advisory that will remain in place until the break is located and repaired and the water has been tested and passed.

Attempts have been made to supply emergency drinking water to residents unable to drive to Tillamook to purchase their own.  If you are planning on visiting the Cape Meares community, be aware of the water issue and please bring your own!

At this time it is unknown when the water service will return to normal.
