Halifax Water says the boil water advisory in place for the last two days, affecting more than 200,000 people, has been lifted “effective immediately.”

The utility company lifted the order on Thursday morning just before 9 a.m.

The boil water advisory was first issued on Tuesday for several parts of the Halifax region after a power interruption at a major treatment facility.

Areas included are for for all customers serviced by the JD Kline (Pockwock) water treatment facility in Beaver Bank, Middle and Lower Sackville, Upper Hammonds Plains, Hammonds Plains, Bedford, Halifax, Timberlea, Spryfield, Fall River, Waverley, Windsor Junction and Herring Cove.

Halifax Water noted the water will be safe for consumption and use after impacted customers flush water for ten minutes from fridges or other appliances that store water.

Customers are also advised to dispose of ice made by an ice maker or ice cube tray.
