Residents in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, are now able to drink their tap water again — a boil water advisory that was placed earlier this month has been lifted.
Nunavut's Department of Health issued the advisory on June 7 due to high turbidity or cloudy water. At the time, the department said the ban was a precautionary measure.
People in Rankin were under the advisory for more than a week, having to boil their water for a full minute to ensure it was safe.
As of Monday, the health department said the advisory was lifted.
