Boil water advisory lifted in Consecon/Carrying Place
The boil water advisory for all users in the Consecon/Carrying Place Drinking Water System has been lifted by the South East Health Unit (formerly known as the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health).
- Affected users can resume normal use of municipal drinking water without bringing it to a boil.
- The Consecon/Carrying Place Drinking Water System receives water from the Trenton Drinking Water System (DWS). The precautionary boil water advisory was implemented as a result of an emergency shutdown to repair a critical watermain break in the Trenton DWS.
- Sampling in both the Consecon/Carrying Place DWS and the Trenton DWS have confirmed that water being received and used in the Consecon/Carrying Place DWS meets provincial water quality standards and is safe to drink and use for all domestic purposes.
- The municipality recommends that affected users flush household plumbing through the cold water tap until water runs cold to the touch.
- The County of Prince Edward is committed to providing a consistent supply of safe drinking water to all consumers connected to the municipality’s drinking water systems.
