Drinking water given the all-clear in village of Halbrite

A boil water advisory issued for the village of Halbrite in July due to E. coli has been lifted.

The advisory was issued in mid-July by the Saskatchewan Health Authority after a single water sample collected in the community tested positive for the E. coli bacteria.

Halbrite’s mayor, Dwayne Carlson, told Discover Weyburn the village has now been given the all-clear to drink the water.

Halbrite is about 30 kilometres southeast of Weyburn.
