It appears that community water problems aren’t exclusive to Swan River. Although, at the time of this writing, that central Manitoba town was faced with a loss of water throughout the entire community; five hours to the north, Snow Lake was recovering from a major water break that closed the school, uptown businesses, the community daycare and put the majority of the town on a boil water advisory. Around suppertime on Jan. 24, people in the Snow Lake became aware of the problem through shared posts on a Facebook community bulletin board. Many noted that they had little or no water pressure and by 10 p.m. that evening the town’s chief administrative officer Ross Gilmore confirmed that a water main had “ruptured” near the community’s Joseph H. Kerr School. He noted that they would attempt to keep the water system charged and flowing to all neighbourhoods; however, the school, Wilfred T. Lipton Arena, Gordon M. Rupp Curling Rink, several businesses and the Brentwood Subdivision were reporting pressure that varied from low to none at all. Further to this, the town had applied for a dig permit and excavation…

The Essex Jct.
Water Department has issued a “precautionary” boil water advisory after a major water line break on Densmore Drive around 3 a.m. Public works staff has been on scene since then working to fix the problem, which closed the town offices and sent students home early from Essex High School and the Center for Technology.

The incident came a day after the city sent out an advisory after a wastewater spill at a treatment plant on Koala Circle.
About 12,000 gallons spilled, entering Lake Wylie through a storm drain.
Funderburk said the no swim advisory, only for that cove, remained in place Thursday.
“It has not been lifted yet,” he said.
“Utility staff is taking daily samples from the lake and sending them to a lab for testing.

A boil water advisory that affected some Tega Cay residents and businesses after a water main break has been lifted.

In the aftermath of Trenton Water Works’ boil-water advisory, there were a lot of questions across the region.
And, most surprisingly, do I have Trenton Water?
The latter seemed a simple enough question to answer—if you get a bill from the City of Trenton twice a year for water service, then you receive your water from Trenton Water Works.
Turns out that was easier said than done.
The only map there was of the area affected by the boil-water advisory.
We followed up to ask for a map of the full service area, but Walker—who seemed perturbed by the whole exchange—never replied to our request.
They only had one map: a years-old thumbnail in the corner of a memo.
We also had asked Hamilton Township, whose administration has been quick to release information on TWW.
The BPU didn’t have anything either, saying TWW “isn’t under our jurisdiction” and recommended asking DEP.
We share this story as another example of what it is like to communicate with and try to get information about Trenton Water Works for even simple questions, like “Where do you serve?” The map is lost in the maze, but it exists somewhere.
