The breach of a main line was repaired at Monroe and Columbus late last night according to City Manager Joe Mrstik.

Tests are being conducted to ensure the water is safe and Mrstik says if the tests have good results the advisory should end by Sunday or Monday.

Northern Health Authority was notified of a call of high colour in the municipal water source of the Village of Hazelton and Gitanmaax prompting them to issue a precautionary boil water advisory on Thursday.
That’s according to Dr. Sylvia Struck, the Manager of the drinking water safety program with the First Nations Health Authority.
“Their water source is a surface water source, so if you have high precipitation it can stir things up and increase the turbidity…The colour of the water not being what it should be is not a health concern, it’s more of an atheistic concern. But it can indicate there might be problems in the treatment.”
Dr. Struck says the advisory will likely be temporary while an investigation continues along with water quality testing.
The First Nations Heath Authority environmental officer is expected to be on site next week.
As a precautionary measure to health risks, municipal water supply users are advised to:
•Bring all water to a rolling boil for at least two minutes and let it cool before using it;
•Obtain bottle water or water from another Northern Health approved source that is know to be safe; or
•Disinfect water with unscented liquid chlorine bleach. Add eight drops of bleach to one gallon of clear water (double the amount of bleach if the water is cloudy). Thoroughly mix and let stand for 30 minutes.
WESTON — West Virginia American Water has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for approximately 200 customers in the West Second Street area of Weston. This advisory includes a portion of West Second Street, a portion of Broad Street, Fall Street, Jonathan Street, Hunter Street, a portion of Gee Lick Road, Karl Street, Williams Avenue, Williams Street, Camden Avenue, Kunst Drive, Irene Drive, Sunset Acres, Craig Street, and surrounding streets.
The advisory was issued due to a main break on West Second Street which crews are working to repair as quickly as possible. Estimated restoration time is 10 p.m. Customers will be notified of the advisory by the CodeRED notification system, according to a press release.
Once service is restored, affected customers should boil their water before consumption until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms that may be present in the water. Customers are asked to bring water used for drinking, cooking, bathing and brushing teeth to a full boil for a minimum of one minute, then cool before use.
West Virginia American Water also recommends the following steps:
— Throw away beverages and ice cubes if made with tap water;
— Keep boiled water in the refrigerator for drinking;
— Provide pets with boiled water after cooling;
— Do not use home filtering devices in place of boiling or using bottled water; most home water filters will not provide adequate protection from microorganisms;
— Use only boiled water to treat minor injuries.
Once the system recovers, West Virginia American Water will be collecting additional water quality samples in the area of the outage. For more information, contact West Virginia American Water’s customer service center at 1-800-685-8660.
