     Steps Taken to Remedy: Notify impacted users of the Boil Water Notice as per the steps identified within the Emergency Response and Contingency Plan. If no Emergency Response Plan exists then direct contact with all users is required and confirmation of this notification to be provided directly to the Environmental Health Officer.
     Corrective Actions Remaining: Operator to contact Northern Health to further discuss the situation. 2 bacteriological samples, taken 24 hours apart, showing the absence of total coliforms and E.coli, are required for the EHO to assess the removal of the existing notice. Samples must be submitted to an accredited laboratory.
