During the disruption, those locations will see a drop in water pressure.

If this water interruption affects your residence, you are under a precautionary boil water advisory.

When the Office of the Chief Public Health Officer informs the City of Iqaluit that the advisory is lifted, we will inform residents.

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;
• washing fruits and vegetables;
• cooking; or

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