GVRD Water Advisory Lifted
28 November 2006
On the recommendation of the Medical Health Officers of Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health, the boil water advisory that has been in effect for Vancouver, parts of the North Shore and Burnaby is now lifted for these areas.
There is no boil water advisory for any area receiving water from the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD).
Turbidity is on a downward trend but still remains above pre-storm levels. Water may continue to appear cloudy or discoloured for some time. Turbidity levels will continue to be posted on the Metro Vancouver Water Treatment and Supply page, and in the Vancouver Sun newspaper.
Users are asked to open unused taps for three minutes to move stagnant water through the distribution system.
