The Municipal District of St. Stephen (MDSS) says while the boil water order remains in effect, a sample sent to the province on Feb. 19 met the regulatory requirements.
“A second sample was taken today and couriered to the laboratory for analysis,” an update to Alertable said. “While we are optimistic that this sample will also meet requirements, it cannot be guaranteed at this time.”

A further update, it said on Alertable, will be provided once the Department of Health advises MDSS of the results or any decision regarding our system status.
Citizens should continue to comply with the boil water advisory until advised otherwise, continue to monitor MDSS communications and by joining the Alertable app for regular updates.
Any water used for consumption, food preparation, or brushing your teeth should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute.
The municipality did isolate the area where the issues is believed to be located and is awaiting parts to complete the repairs.
