Deloro — A boil water advisory for Deloro residents ended Friday after the second sample came back clear from harmful bacteria.
The advisory had been announced last Monday, Sept. 11 and a notice was posted to the Marmora and Lake municipal website.
The advisory was for all users of the drinking water supplied by the Deloro Drinking Water Treatment Plant.
“You need to have two consecutive sets of water sample taken 24 to 48 hours apart,” Victor Reid, environmental services manager for Marmora and Lake.
“Our second sample came back 0-0 on Friday (Sept. 15),” he said.
The first sample taken came back 0-TC (total coliforms) and 0-EC (E. coli), the second set was taken in the afternoon and came back 0-0.
“We normally sample weekly for microbiological (results),” he explained.
Microbiological refers to studies or tests relating to very small living things such as bacteria and their effects on people.
