Ottawa –Ottawa Public Health (OPH) has issued a precautionary Boil Water Advisory for some users of the Carp communal well water system. The advisory is being issued due to a watermain break which has resulted in a loss of water pressure at some affected homes. The break occurred due to private construction activity and has been isolated for repair by City crews. This advisory affects approximately 180 water users and is in effect until further notice.
The advisory is in effect for all the addresses on the following streets:
Ottawa Public Health inspectors are on location in Carp delivering notices to affected residents.
Water users in the affected area are asked to bring their water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for all consumption purposes, including drinking, making juice, ice and infant formula, as well as for use in food preparation.
After boiling, the water should be left to cool before being used, or it should be placed in clean containers to cool in the refrigerator. Boiled water should be used when brushing teeth. Boiled water should also be used to rinse dishes after washing. Other non-consumption uses, such as showering, are safe.
If you are unable to boil water, you should consume only bottled water. More info available here: What you should know during a boil water advisory.
This advisory is issued as a precaution and will be rescinded once Ottawa Public Health has been provided with notification that the pressure in the water distribution system has been restored and that the results of sample analyses show the absence of bacteria in the water. Bringing the water to a rolling boil for at least one minute will kill the microorganisms.
Additional information is available at ottawa.ca, or by calling 3-1-1, or Ottawa Public Health at 613-580-6744. You can also connect with Ottawa Public Health on Facebook and Twitter (@ottawahealth).
