The boil water advisory for the community of Sambaa K’e has been lifted.

The advisory was issued by the community government and the Chief Environmental Health Officer on July 15.

It was due to a critical mechanical failure in the community water treatment system that caused muddy water.

“There have been no illnesses associated with drinking water reported in the community,” states the GNWT in a news release.

Residents can now return to normal use of drinking water as water quality has improved.
