RED LAKE— The Municipality of Red Lake announced that due to a water break, a “Boil Water Advisory” is in effect for all residents of McMarmac Road and McMarmac Place.
The Municipality advised its resdidents on Friday that all water from taps should be boiled for at least one minute before being used for human consumption. Once boiled, the water can be stored in the fridge, in a clean food safe container, and should be used for other activities, where the water may be ingested. Such activities include: brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, adding to uncooked food or drink, ice cubes and water for pets. Boiling water removes harmful bacteria that may cause illness.
