If you live east of the Reversing Falls, the city is advising you to boil their water.
The boil water order was issued early this morning because of an increase in the turbidity or cloudiness of the drinking water due to the rain and high winds. This can make disinfection less effective and leave bacteria in the water which can make you sick.
The city is advising you to boil your water for at least a minute before drinking it. It is safe, however, to shower or have a bath and wash dishes as long as the water is hot and soapy.
Saint John Water has increased its chlorination and is monitoring the situation.
