It's a rough morning everywhere, Zzz. Rain and no coffee makes a Vancouveritte extremely cranky. BTW, just read on DV the water advisory has lifted in some areas of Vancouver.
[P align=center]BOIL WATER ADVISORY LIFTED FOR PORTIONS OF GREATER VANCOUVER
[FONT size=3] [P align=left]Medical Health Authorities have advised that "at the recommendation of the Medical Health Officers, the boil water advisory is lifted for all areas except Vancouver, North Shore and Burnaby. Turbidity levels for all other areas is at acceptable levels, because they are being served by the Coquitlam water source. We will continue to monitor the situation closely."
[P align=left]GVRD staff advise that turbidity levels in the GVRD's Capilano and Seymour reservoirs are declining but remain above acceptable levels. The region is currently discharging water from the Capilano and Seymour lakes in an effort to release as much of the turbid water as is possible. Inflow to the reservoirs is, at the moment, experiencing much lower turbidity, although additional impact may be expected from storms forecast for this weekend.
[P align=left]Disinfection of the source water has been increased, as has sampling and testing.
