Community Notice: Boil Water Advisory Lifted
July 14, 2026 – As of July 14, the Boil Water Advisory has been lifted, and the community water supply is safe to drink and use for household purposes.
The water fill station located at Public Works is now operational again and available for public use.
Follow these directions before using your water supply:
- Run all the cold water taps and drinking fountains for one full minute
- Remove any screens on your taps, clean them with soap and water and then rinse.
- If you use a water treatment system (like water softener) in your home, check the owner’s manual for any steps you should take before using your water.
We appreciate the patience and understanding from the community during this time.
COMMUNITY NOTICE:
BOIL WATER ADVISORY FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS
ON THE WATERLINE
Date of Issue: July 9, 2026 | Time of Issue: 6:30 PM
Area Affected
Community members and businesses connected to the waterline only.
Reason for Advisory
A Boil Water Advisory has been issued for those connected to the waterline in the Six Nations of the Grand River community due to a watermain break that has caused reduced water pressure.
Loss of water pressure can increase the risk of contaminants entering the drinking water distribution system. As a precautionary measure, all water used for drinking and food preparation should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before use until further notice.
What You Should Do
Community members on the waterline are advised to:
- Boil all water used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, and preparing food.
- Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before use.
- Conserve water and limit non-essential water use until further notice.
What We Are Doing
Six Nations Public Works crews are currently investigating and repairing the watermain break, restoring normal water pressure, and assessing the integrity of the drinking water system.
Advisory Status
This Boil Water Advisory will remain in effect until repairs are completed, water pressure has been restored, and water quality has been confirmed as safe through appropriate testing.
Residents will be notified when the advisory has been lifted.
