A boil water advisory issued on March 30 remains in place for residents connected to the Picton and Bloomfield water system despite the successful recovery of a partially submerged barge in Picton Bay on Saturday afternoon.
A bulk water station where residents can purchase potable water has been set up in Wellington at the Wellington and District Community Centre on 111 Belleville St.
The dispensing unit is coin-operated and has a one-inch connection.
The county is working to install another bulk water unit in Picton.
A statement from Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans said all hazardous materials have been removed from the vessel.
During the recovery of the barge, extra efforts were made to contain pollution in the surrounding environment, according to a statement released Saturday by the Canadian Coast Guard.
Additional floating barriers and special vacuums were deployed to collect any run-off from the barge.
"Through expertise and teamwork we were able to re-float the barge safely," Chris Kirby, director of project management at McKeil Marine Limited, said in a media release.
The barge was repositioned closer to the dock and had two pipe sections removed to make it easier to lift, according to the release.
The deck of the barge is now fully out of the water.

GENESEE COUNTY, MI – A section of western Genesee County is under a boil water advisory following a valve failure.

The valve failure took place Monday, Aug. 1 on the back up supply during work on the Winston water main installation, during which the Miller Road transmission line was closed off, according to a statement from Swartz Creek officials.

Clayton Township also posted a statement on their municipal website, asking residents with public water that live south of Interstate 69 to boil water until further notice.

Restoration of water is expected by 5 p.m. and residents should let their water run for several minutes from the cold water tap after service is restored.

MAUD, TX (KSLA) – A boil advisory instated Aug. 1 for some Bowie County, Texas, water customers has been lifted, a spokeswoman said Aug. 3.

The advisory for customers in Maud, Texas, was issued after a water main on Fanning Street broke Aug. 1.

Crews were working that afternoon to repair the line, which was noticed leaking around 4 p.m.

In order to make the repairs, the city’s overhead water tower had to be drained, thus shutting the water off to the more than 600 customers.

At the time, officials said they hoped to get the break fixed within 4 to 5 hours. Fire Chief John Nichols said once the water was turned back on, residents would have to boil their water for drinking.

“Just as soon as this leak is repaired, they will open up the valves and fill up the tank,” said Maud Texas Fire Chief John Nichols. “Like I said, we should have water for showering and cleaning and everything, just for drinking and eating purposes, it will have to be boiled.”

The chief said depending on sample results, the boil order could last one to three days after the water is turned on.

He also said neighboring cities were on standby to assist in case of a fire emergency.
