A boil water advisory has been put in place for Camperville.

A water main break led to the temporary shutoff of the water treatment plant, compromising the safety of the water. 

The water has been turned back on and residents are advised to bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before it is consumed.

Camperville Water Treatment Plant operator Chris Flatfoot says the boil water advisory is standard protocol once water pressure drops to a certain PSI.

Before the advisory can be lifted, Flatfoot explains officials will have to "send a [water] sample into Winnipeg, and the next day we can send another one. We need two samples that are cleared in order to have the boil water advisory lifted.”

The advisory is expected to be in place for one week.
