A boil water advisory is still in effect for a large number of households and businesses on and off Main Street in Sackville, between Mackol Avenue and St Paul’s Anglican Church.
Water customers in the area are being asked to keep water at a rolling boil for one minute before using it for cooking, drinking, or brushing teeth. Tantramar staff delivered notices to each residence and business affected by the advisory on Tuesday.
The boil water advisory will remain in effect until two consecutive sets of clear water test results are returned and New Brunswick’s Public Health Office lifts the order.
The advisory is the result of a water main break at 165 Main Street on Tuesday, right in front of the Drew Nursing Home. CHMA spoke with Tantramar public works superintendent Michelle Sherwood to get more details.
