remain under the Drinking Water Advisory are shown in Grey on the map attached

below. If you require assistance interpreting the attached map, please do not hesitate

to contact Town Hall at 613-623-4231.

For the areas that continue to remain under the Drinking Water Advisory

(in grey) the following conditions continue to apply:

"Optimal health for all in

Renfrew County and District"

Renfrew County and

District Health Unit

This advisory is issued as a precaution and will be rescinded once the Town and

Renfrew County and District Health Unit can confirm that water in the distribution

system is safe to drink. This drinking water advisory will not be lifted until at least 5:00

pm on Friday August 12, 2016; however it could be extended if required.

Clean drinking water supplies have being set-up at the Nick Smith Centre for residents

still impacted by the Drinking Water Advisory. The Town will be dispensing bulk water

as well as bottled sources. If possible, please bring a personal container to hold water if

available to you. The Nick Smith Centre will be open and continuing to distribute clean

drinking water overnight on the night of August 11th to the morning of August 12th and on

August 12th during the day.

If you are unable to attend the Nick Smith centre to obtain water, please contact Town Hall at 613-623-4231 and the Town will arrange delivery of water supplies for you.

If you require assistance interpreting the attached map, please do not hesitate to

contact Town Hall at 613-623-4231.

Water users where the Advisory has been lifted (shown in white) may return to regular

usage and consumption of Town supplied water, after first having flushed all taps for a

minimum of 5 min. Please open your COLD water taps to clear the system.

Due to hydrant flushing activities that were undertaken by Town staff yesterday and

today, rusty coloured water may be present in your tap water when first turned on. The

coloured water is not hazardous to your health. This situation is temporary and should

not last any longer than 2 hours.

Please monitor the Towns website and media for further updates. Additional

information and updates can be found on the Town’s Website at www.arnprior.ca

Next Update By: August 12, 5:00 PM For Media Inquiries, Please Contact:
