Water Advisory Lifted for Springfield Lake

The medical officer of health is advising residents who use water from Springfield Lake, in the community of Springfield Lake, Halifax Regional Municipality, that a water advisory issued Dec. 12, 2004 is now lifted.

Residents are reminded that drawing water for drinking, cooking, or bathing from a surface water source, such as a lake, is not recommended unless the water is being treated. Untreated lake water is not a safe drinking water supply. Water should be filtered and treated prior to consumption.
