Due to the shut-off, Port LaBelle Utilities users will be placed under a precautionary boil water notice when the water service is restored.
The precautionary boil water notice is anticipated to be in effect for 4 days.
A boil water notice does not mean the water is contaminated. As a precaution, it is advised to boil the water for 1 minute before consumption.
