Due to high levels of bacterial growth in the Carter’s Pond water source for Newtown & Templeman, our office has been notified that all residents of Newtown & Templeman have been placed under a Boil Water Advisory until further notice. Residents are advised to bring water that you might ingest to a rigorous boil for 1 minute. If you know of people in the area that have no access to social media or the community channel, we ask that you please contact as many as you can to advise them of the boil order and share the information with their neighbours. This Boil Water Advisory will be in effect until further notice. Please contact out office at 536-2010 if you have any further questions. Thanking you…

Due to a high lead sample recently detected in the Carter’s Pond Water Supply for the communities of Newtown and Templeman, Service NL has informed us that effective immediately a Non-Consumption order has been issued. The sample has exceeded the new maximum acceptable for lead which has recently been lowered to 0.005 mg/L. In the past, a reading of 0.007 mg/L would have been acceptable. Please note that lead cannot be removed though boiling, in fact water evaporation will increase levels. Safe alternate sources for drinking, cooking, tooth brushing and personal consumption should be used. Bottled water from a reputable seller is an option. The water can still be used for washing clothes, cleaning, plumbing and other household uses. Please limit bath/shower times to limit lead…
