Precautionary Maintenance: Boil Water Advisory - Lifted!

πŸ“£ Update: Boil Water Advisory Lifted!

Attention residents of 9th St. South, Southdale Bay, Southdale St, Southpark St, and Grant Street!

The sample results for the precautionary Boil Water Advisory are finally in, and they're good!

You can now resume your regular water usage without any further precautions.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this maintenance period.

--

Date and Time:
Wednesday, December 6th, 2023, 9 am - 3 pm

Location: 9th St. South, Southdale Bay, Southdale St, Southpark St, Grant Street.

The City of Morden will be shutting off water service to complete maintenance or repair in these areas.

Distribution depressurization can compromise the safety of the water supply. All water users are asked to follow the boil water advisory precautions below once the water service has been restored.

All water should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before it is used for:

  • Drinking and ice-making

  • Preparing beverages, such as infant formula

  • Preparing food

  • Brushing teeth

It is not necessary to boil tap water used for other household purposes, such as laundry or washing dishes. Adults and older children who can avoid swallowing the water can wash, bathe, or shower. Young children should be sponge-bathed. If boiling is not feasible, an alternate and safe supply of water should be used.

To avoid purchasing bottled water, water users can store tap water in clean containers for drinking water purposes and should fill the bathtub to use as toilet flushing water during the service interruption.

We anticipate water test results by December 13th, 2023, and unless otherwise notified you can begin normal water use after that time. We will post a Notice on our website home page or under Latest News. You may also call the Utilities Department if you have any questions or concerns at 204-822-5119
