As of (Today) December 5, The District of Kitimat has issued a Water Quality Advisory due to elevated turbidity in the Kitimat River. Northern Health recommends that children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems boil water before consumption.
The advisory applies to the entire water system and remains in effect until further notice from a Drinking Water Officer. Public establishments are required to inform patrons of the advisory.
A Water Quality Advisory is issued when there is some risk associated with drinking the water but does not require a full boil water notice. The advisory is particularly important for vulnerable populations. For updates, residents are advised to stay informed through public notices.
