Public Health Advisory
Boil Water Advisory – Pond Inlet
The Department of Health is issuing a boil water advisory for the Hamlet of Pond Inlet.
This is a precautionary measure due to the potential for high turbidity (cloudy water) levels with ongoing repairs to the reservoir.
During a boil water advisory, all water for consumption must be brought to a rolling boil for a minimum of one full minute.
It is essential that all water be boiled for the following uses:
• drinking;
• preparing infant formulas;
• preparing juices and ice cubes;
• washing fruits and vegetables;
• cooking; or
• brushing of teeth.
Water can be boiled either in a pot or kettle on a stove or an electric kettle without an automatic shut-off.
It is not necessary to boil water used for anything other than the above list.
