A boil water advisory has been lifted for the southwest Calgary neighbourhoods of Silverado, Yorkville and Belmont.
AHS medical officer of health Dr. Franco Rizzuti said the risk of contamination in a potable water line was the reason for the boil water advisory.
“What this might mean for someone who consumes this water – they didn’t know about the boil water advisory they consume it – they might have gastrointestinal symptoms, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, upset stomach. We would ask folks to watch for these symptoms,” Rizzuti said. The medical officer of health also advised homes in the three neighbourhoods to open water taps for five to 10 minutes, to flush the lines.
“So, as you’re turning on water, do let any of that air in the line — maybe you might notice some colour changes – let that all flush through.”For any health-related questions regarding the boil water advisory, contact Healthlink at 811 or visit the how to use water safely website.
