No More Boil Water

Good news for residents of Tunnel Island, Norman and Keewatin.

The Northwestern Health Unit has lifted its boil water advisory, which has been in place since last Saturday evening.

The Health Unit says tests of the water supply conducted this week show no evidence of bacteria.

The boil water advisory was put in place as a precaution, while work is being carried out on the submarine water line between downtown Kenora and Norman.

The Health Unit has also rescinded its closure of Keewatin Beach.

It says e-coli levels have now returned to acceptible levels.
