The province has announced a boil water order in the Village of Maymont.

A statement from the province said the advisory was called as a result of harmful bacteria found in water samples. The entire community, and anyone who accesses water from the village’s supply, must boil all water for at least one minute prior to using it. People are asked to boil water all used for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, and brushing teeth, or use water from an alternate source.

The province said if anyone is experiencing any flu-like symptoms they should seek medical help. 

The alert is in effect until further notice.
