The Government of Nunavut’s Health Department lifted Chesterfield Inlet’s boil-water advisory on Sept. 22, 2026. The advisory had been in place since Aug. 20 because of low chlorine levels in the water system. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗

The lift ends the precaution that required residents to bring water used for drinking, cooking, infant formula, ice, washing produce and brushing teeth to a rolling boil for at least one full minute.

No further action, testing details or explanation of the work that allowed the advisory to be lifted was provided in the Health Department’s Sept. 22 notice.

This is a completed service change, not a proposal. The Health Department’s direct notice says the advisory is lifted. The original advisory began Aug. 20, 2026, and cited low chlorine levels in the water system.
