Boil water advisory ended for most communities along Bow Valley Trail
A boil water advisory for the Bow Valley Trail was lifted for just about every community except the town of Canmore Thursday.
Neighbourhoods in the following communities have been cleared over the past few days, including Benchlands, Cougar Creek, Palliser Trail, Silvertip, Dead Man’s Flats, Harvie Heights, the Canmore Nordic Centre, Three Sisters Resort, Peaks of Grassi, Rundleview and Homesteads.
Late Friday afternoon, EPCOR issued a release adding the Canmore neighbourhoods of Avens/Elk Run and a portion of the Larch neighbourhood, although it added that residents of the 100 block of Larch Place should continue to boil their water.
EPCOR recommends that people who have had their boil water advisory lifted to run their water for five minutes or until clear water appears.
Businesses that have been cleared for regular water service are advised to refer to Alberta Health Service guidance documents related to their industry for advice.
With testing continuing, some residents and businesses may experience occasional low water pressure or temporary water outages.
Communities still under the boil water advisory should not consume any water directly from the tap.
A number of water trucks are providing free, potable water in Canmore between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. at the following locations:
- Elizabeth Rummel School: 1033 Cougar Creek Drive, Canmore;
- Lawrence Grassi Middle School: 610 7 Avenue, Canmore;
- Elevation Place: 700 Railway Ave #100, Canmore; and
- Canmore Recreation Centre: 1900 8 Ave, Canmore.
