Please be advised of an emergency water shut down in Happy Valley on Wednesday, March 17, 2021 from approximately 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. to allow for a repair to the water infrastructure.

Residents in the following locations may be affected: 400s, 500s, and 1600s.
 

The City of Iqaluit is issuing a boil water advisory for residents who experience water loss.

This is a precautionary measure due to a break in the water line during a repair to our water infrastructure.

The City recommends that all water used for consumption and dental hygiene is brought to a rolling boil for a minimum of one full minute. Water can boiled in a pot over the stove, allowed to cool and stored in a covered container or refrigerated for later use.

The City of Iqaluit will release a Public Service Announcement when the boil water advisory is lifted.
