Delburne under boil water advisory

Due to an issue with the water system in Delburne, Alberta Health Services has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for the village.

All residents and businesses are advised to bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute prior to any consumption, including drinking, brushing teeth, cleaning raw foods, preparing infant formula or juices, and making ice.

AHS says water used for bathing or washing clothes does not need to be boiled. For hand-washing, wash with soap and water and use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing more than 60 per cent alcohol after drying your hands.

The boil water advisory will remain in effect until further notice. AHS Environmental Public Health officers will continue to monitor the water quality in the village.
