Public Service Announcement

Boil Water Advisory – UPDATED May 21, 2019

5 Wing Goose Bay, Spruce Park, Hamilton Heights, Northside – ALL STREETS

 

Update: May 21, 2019

 

Residents are advised that the below Boil Water Advisory is still in effect.

Furthermore; The reason this particular Boil Water Advisory does not include the Valley portion of Town (Mealy Mountain Collegiate to Valley) is that all water supplied to this area is treated via the Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay Water Treatment Plant.

 

The areas covered under the current Boil Water Advisory do not receive water via the Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay Water Treatment Plant, but rather the Spring Gulch Water Treatment Plant only which until maintenance is complete will fall under the current Boil Water Advisory (scroll below to see details on Boil Water Advisory).

 

The Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay appreciates the public’s understanding in this matter.
