In brief

What happened

The City issued the lifting notice on Aug. 18, ending the precautionary advisory for the three listed address ranges. This is a completed public-health update, not a new advisory or a planned service interruption. SourceCity of Iqaluit

Why it matters

Residents in the listed ranges can stop following the boil-water precautions that applied during the advisory. Because the City published only number ranges and no street names, people uncertain whether their home is included may need to confirm with City Public Works.

What happens next

A separate City notice says a water shutdown is planned in Plateau from about 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug. 20 for infrastructure work. The City says any residence affected by a pressure drop will automatically be under a precautionary boil-water advisory until it is lifted. SourceCity of Iqaluit

Important details

The City lists Public Works at 867-979-5630 for information during business hours. For urgent after-hours water issues, such as a water-main leak or no pressure, it lists City Dispatch at 867-979-5650. The City’s lifting notice does not state when the earlier advisory began or name the streets tied to the address ranges. SourceCity of Iqaluit
