Coronach lifts water advisory

The Town of Coronach has lifted its advisory against using the water.

A do-not-use notice was issued after a break-in was discovered this week at the town’s water treatment plant.

However, people are still being urged to delay non-essential laundry, washing and water use until Monday.

The town has given instructions on flushing water lines to avoid the loss of water pressure.

“Please be aware that if all of the town flushes their lines at once, we could face a depressurization of the distribution system which would result in the Water Security Agency placing us under another Precautionary Drinking water advisory immediately and this would require multiple tests and several days to restore service,” reads an email from town administrator Catherine MacKay-Wilson.

The business district, school and health centre can flush immediately.

Properties east of First Street East were able to flush at 11 a.m.

Those west of First Street West can start flushing at 1 p.m.
