Thornhill Community Water System BOIL WATER ADVISORY Total Coliform Presence... Laboratory tests indicate the presence of total coliform bacteria in the drinking water. If total coliform bacteria are present in drinking water supplies, this may indicate that disease-causing microorganism may be present. These organisms include bacteria, viruses and parasites that can cause enteric symptoms (diarrhea, cramps, nausea, vomiting or other symptoms). Persons experiencing these symptoms should consult a physician. Boiling the water kills these organisms. Options for water users are to bring all water to a rapid rolling boil for at least one minute and let it cool before using; use bottled water; or, use an alternative approved source of water. Boiling the water destroys all the potentially disease carrying pathogens, the water is therefore considered potable after it has cooled. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth and food preparation until further notice. We will inform you when you no longer need to boil your water. THIS UPDATED BOIL WATER ADVISORY IS EFFECTIVE December 18, 2020 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE Regional District staff are working to disinfect and flush the system. As we address this situation you will experience chlorine within the distribution system at safe levels. The next update will be issued on or about December 31, 2020. We will be maintaining updates on our web site, www.rdks.bc.ca. ENQUIRIES? Regional District of Kitimat Stikine at 250-615-6100 PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, rental units, nursing homes, schools, preschools, churches and businesses).
