Nelson’s water is now safe to drink after the city announced Monday it had rescinded a health advisory.
The water quality advisory was initially issued on June 1 due to elevated turbidity levels. But, according to a statement released by the city, “the elevated turbidity in our source water, resulting from spring freshet, has decreased to a level where water quality is no longer degraded.”
The advisory followed a weekend of flooding throughout the region that led to several communities being evacuated.
