St. Stephen to begin repair work, advises residents to prepare for potential boil water order

The Municipal District of St. Stephen (MDSS) is warning residents that work planned on the water system could result in another boil water advisory.

“The public is hereby advised that the Municipal District of St. Stephen will be conducting planned work on the potable water system tomorrow, Feb. 26,” it said on a message shared via the Alertable app.

It said the work is necessary as a result of failure of the pump that caused the original boil water order from Feb. 8 to 21.

“While this work is being conducted in a manner to avoid the need for an additional boil water advisory, given the nature of the work, such a result cannot be guaranteed,” it said in the alert.

It advises residents to take the necessary actions to prepare for a boil water should that be deemed necessary by the Department of Health.

“The MDSS appreciates your patience and understanding while this work is underway,” it said.
