The City of Iqaluit says it is working to find an alternate source of drinking water following a recurrence of fuel odours in its municipal water distribution system.
In an update posted to social media on Sunday, the city says the water that’s been tested remains safe under Canadian guidelines.
But it says it recognizes that residents may be uncomfortable consuming or using tap water that has residual odours of fuel, which is why it says it’s working to provide an alternative source for affected residents “as quickly as possible.”
