When water pressure drops, the Chief Public Health Officer of Nunavut automatically issues a precautionary boil water advisory. If this water interruption affects your residence, you are under a precautionary boil water advisory.

During a precautionary boil water advisory, the City recommends that all water for consumption is brought to a rolling boil for a minimum of one full minute.

It is recommended that all water be boiled for the following uses:

• drinking;
• preparing infant formulas;
• preparing juices and ice cubes;

Water can be boiled either in a pot or kettle on a stove or an electric kettle without an automatic shut-off.

The City of Iqaluit will release a Public Service Announcement when the precautionary boil water advisory is lifted.
