What to do when a Manitoba advisory is issued

Follow the issuer’s instructions first. The standard playbook, aligned with CDC and Health Canada guidance: bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute (three minutes above 2,000 m elevation) before drinking, preparing food, making ice or brushing teeth; throw away ice made before the advisory; sponge-bathe small children; and flush household pipes, ice makers and filters once the all-clear is announced.

Boil water advisories in Manitoba: FAQ

How do I find out if my area in Manitoba is under a boil water advisory?

Check the live notice list on this page first, then confirm with Manitoba Office of Drinking Water and your local water utility — utilities deliver the binding notice to customers by phone alerts, text, door hangers and local media. Notices in Manitoba usually follow main breaks, pressure loss, flooding or failed water samples.

How long do boil water advisories last in Manitoba?

Most last one to three days: the time needed to fix the cause, flush the system and collect two consecutive rounds of clean bacteriological samples. Large storm or flooding events can extend that to a week or more. The advisory is over only when the issuer officially lifts it.

Who is most at risk during a Manitoba boil water advisory?

Infants, adults over 65, pregnant people and anyone with a weakened immune system are most at risk from waterborne organisms. During an advisory they should drink only boiled or bottled water — including ice made during the advisory — and use bottled water for formula.

Can I shower during a boil water advisory in Manitoba?

Healthy adults can shower as long as they avoid swallowing water and keep it out of the mouth and eyes. Sponge-bathe small children with boiled, cooled water, and use boiled water if you have open wounds or a weakened immune system.
