Aug 15, 2021 | 11:27 AM

STANDOFF, AB – Residents of Standoff are advised that they should boil their water before drinking or cooking.

Indigenous Services Canada says there has been an equipment failure at the Standoff Public Water Supply, resulting in a pressure loss in the distribution system.

They are telling the public to boil water for at least one minute prior to drinking, making infant formula, brushing teeth, washing fruits or vegetables, or making ice.

Tap water is still safe for handwashing, but people should be careful with showering.
