Conne River hoping for permanent end to boil water advisories
Officials with the Miawpukek First Nation in Conne River are celebrating a big step with the removal of a long-term boil water advisory — and are hoping this time, it lasts.
The First Nation, along with the federal government, lifted a four-year boil water advisory in June, thanks to upgrades to the town’s water treatment plant and water lines.
It was the fifth boil water advisory issued in the community on Newfoundland’s south coast since 2007, and the longest, according to Glen Benoit, the director of public works with the First Nation.
"I only have heard a few people say, ‘It’s about time,’" said Chief Mi’sel Joe.
Before that date, tap water in the community bypassed the First Nation’s water treatment plant.
Joe said people in his community are "frustrated" by the constant boil water advisories, "off and on, off and on."
"I’d say, probably 50 per cent of the time, we’ve been on boil water advisory since 2004," added Benoit.
Watch a community information session on the end of the boil water advisory All copper lines in the community are being replaced, and the plant has also added a new UV filtration system — he said both were "major things" toward lifting the boil water advisory.
"It takes a long time to gain confidence back, but it doesn’t take very long to lose it, I’ll tell you that."
"It’s extremely important," said Joe.

Boil water advisory for Montrose lifted
MONTROSE (WJRT) (8/29/2018) – The city of Montrose has lifted a boil water advisory about two days after it was imposed.
A loss of water pressure early Monday led the city to issue the advisory.
Without adequate pressure in the system, harmful bacteria can get in and contaminate the water.
Pressure was restored early Monday and two consecutive samples taken 24 hours apart came back clean, allowing the city to lift the advisory on Wednesday morning.
Lightning, faulty valve play role in Montrose water problems
MONTROSE, MI — A boil water advisory has been lifted for all Montrose residents.
The city of Montrose announced Wednesday morning the boil advisory issued Monday, Aug. 27 following a drop in pressure in a water main along M-57 has expired.
Sam Spence, the city’s Department of Public Works director, said a pressure relief valve in the master pit feeding the city closed sometimes between 11:30 p.m. Sunday night and 12:30 a.m. Monday morning.
"The master pit is the underground vault where the meter is located for the inlet line from Genesee County that feeds the city of Montrose," said Spence.
Complicating the situation was a lightning strike during a thunderstorm over the weekend to a power box that controls a supervisory control and data acquisition, or SCADA, system to monitor pressure.
As a workaround, Montrose DPW employees installed a gauge on a hydrant and took on three-hour shifts to monitor the pressure, Spence said.
Spence responded around 12:45 a.m. Aug. 27 and opened a bypass valve to allow the system to regulate pressure.
The pressure gauge was reading 17 pounds at the master pit, Spence noted.
"Therefore I felt it was in our residents’ best interest to issue the boil advisory until I could properly sample the drinking water," said Spence in an Aug. 28 email to Michigan Department of Environmental Quality officials.
Spence said the pressure relief valve and monitoring system also have been repaired and replaced.
