The First Nations Health Authority has reported there are still 5 Do Not Consume and 21 boil water advisories in the province.
In a response to an information request from Moose FM, the First Nations Health Authority says that the Palling Community under the Wet’sewet’en First Nation has had a five year long Do Not Consume Advisory.
The FNHA states that Do Not Consume means the community’s water system contains a contaminant, such as a chemical, that can’t be removed from the water source – even from boiling.
They say there are advisories in less than 10 per cent of the 283 community water systems they monitor in the Province.
