Residents of St. Stephen are advised to continue boiling their water before drinking or using it to prepare food.
The advisory was first issued Saturday morning due to turbidity (cloudiness) in the municipal water supply, which indicated it may be unsafe to drink and could cause serious illness.
The turbidity was caused by ongoing repairs to the pumping system at the water source, according to an alert sent out by the town. The advisory is expected to remain in place for 3-5 days. A further update is expected by Tuesday morning. Read more in The Courier.
