A precautionary boil water advisory for Dauphin is in place and will be until further notice.
Boiling water isn't necessary for doing laundry or washing dishes, and it's recommended that young children be sponge bathed while the advisory is in place.
Bill Brenner, Director of Public Works for the City of Dauphin expects the ban to be lifted tomorrow at the earliest.
He also said all public water systems have to do bacteriological sampling and testing, bi-weekly. Sampling in Dauphin was done on Tuesday with test results getting back yesterday. The water tested positive for total coliform. The office of drinking water advised the city of Dauphin to implement the boil water advisory.
We'll continue to keep our eye on the situation and let you know when the advisory is lifted.
