Dryden is now under a boil water advisory follow this morning’s water shut off. The city’s water was shut off to replace a leaking pipe.

Waterworks Manager Dean Walker explains why they need the advisory.

“We’ll have to put out a precautionary boil water advisory. We’ll be working with the Northwestern Health Unit and the MOE for that. We’ll take two samples 24 hours apart. As long as they pass, we’ll be able to lift the boil water advisory,” he said.

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