ABBOTSFORD — Clearbrook Waterworks District says it has terminated the boil water notice that was issued last week, in consultation with Fraser Health Authority.

In a statement from the company, Clearbrook Waterworks says it has taken the necessary steps to remedy the situation. The company says Fraser Health has confirmed through extensive sampling that there are no signs of contamination in the water supply, meaning it is safe to drink.

Residents within the Clearbrook Waterworks service area previously impacted by the boil water are asked, prior to use and to remove any contaminated water, to kindly run cold water faucets for one minute before using the water; to run drinking fountains for one minute before using the water; and flush all garden hoses by running cold water through them for one minute.

Residents should also drain and refill hot water heaters set below 45˚C (normal setting is 60˚C).

Residents who need further information are asked to contact Clearbrook Waterworks at 604-308-6161, through email at office@clearbrookwaterworks.com, visiting their website at www.clearbrookwaterworks.com, or through their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ClearbrookWaterworks.
