The Village of Barons boil water advisory has been lifted. Water samples came back clear and Alberta Environment has given the all clear, so residents can go back to using tap water normally. No more boiling for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, or making ice.
Thank you for your patience while the water system improvements were completed.
What boil water precautions mean
For anyone still under precautions, bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for:
- Drinking
- Cooking and preparing food
- Making ice, juice, coffee, or baby formula
- Brushing teeth
- Washing fruits and vegetables
Let the water cool on its own. Do not add ice to speed it up.
