Boil water advisory rescinded, health unit says following water main break
Water should be brought to a full boil for at least a minute, WECHU says
The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit has rescinded a boil water advisory for people served by the Amherstburg water system.
The notice had been in place since Monday evening, following a water main break that caused a loss of pressure in the system, the health unit said Monday.
"The WECHU is informing users that required water samples have been taken and meet drinking water quality standards," the health unit said in an update Thursday afternoon.
