Residents in several neighbourhoods around Rockwood Park in Saint John will no longer have to boil their water.
A boil water order which was in place for 28 sections of streets has been lifted, according to the city.
The Department of Health issued the boil order Sunday after what the city described as an “infrastructure failure.”
Residents who have been away and not using their water are asked to turn on each of their taps for a few minutes.
“This will remove the water that has been sitting in the pipes while you were away and will draw cleaner, fresher water into your plumbing,” said the city.
“If you have been using your water over the past few days, you need to do nothing else, since in using the water you have effectively flushed out old water and brought fresher water into your plumbing.”
Anyone with questions can call the city at 506-658-4455.
