UPDATED: Nelson boil notice rescinded

The City of Nelson has rescinded a boil water notice and replaced it with a water quality advisory.

The city said in a news release that it’s no longer necessary for the majority of people to boil water prior to consumption.

Recent heavy rain and runoff has resulted in high cloudiness levels in the city’s surface water source, which could hinder the effectiveness of the disinfection treatment system.

However, They believe an error may have occurred in the sampling and the advisory was issued as a precaution.
