The Boil Water Advisory has been lifted for Porcupine. The City of Timmins has conducted the required water sampling and the results are deemed satisfactory by the City of Timmins and the Porcupine Health Unit.
Background
A Boil Water Advisory was enacted as a precautionary measure on Monday, March 21, due to repairs on a watermain servicing Porcupine, including the area behind the Porcupine Mall. Water was shut off to complete repairs and later restored by Monday evening, but the Boil Water Advisory remained in effect until the City obtained drinking water results in two consecutive sets of samples taken 24 to 48 hours apart, or as otherwise directed by the medical officer of health.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
