On Aug. 7, Alberta Health Services lifted the boil water advisory for the hamlet of Kinuso and most of Swan River First Nation.
The boil water advisory was issued on July 31, says the Alberta Health Services news release.
As of Aug. 7, it remained in effect for an area southeast of Kinuso from Range Road 93 to Range Road 102 south of Hwy. 2 and along Hwy. 33 and Range Road 94 to Range Road 100A north of Hwy. 2 and south of Swan River.
An Aug. 7 Facebook post by Big Lakes County said that the advisory would be in place for at least the following week.
It adds, “Our crews will be on-site to install the permanent water line next week. Once the new line is in place, we will conduct water tests and anticipate that the boil water advisory will be lifted shortly after the permanent repair has been completed.”
People in these areas can access potable water from a hose at the Kinuso administration office, adds the social media update.
AHS will also continue to test the water and monitor the situation, says the AHS news release.
