due to a water main break.
Yukon Advisory Map

Yukon River from the Carmacks lift station outfall due to an ongoing malfunction.
British Columbia Advisory Map
In British Columbia, Interior Health issued a BWN to Gladwin Mobile Home Park due to untreated drinking water at risk of containing pathogens, and a WQA to East shore Cottages due to unacceptable
water quality results, microbiological.
Ontario Advisory Map
In Ontario, According to news reports there appears to be confusion regarding the lifting of a BWA in Gravenhurst at Beaver Ridge Estates. The advisory was issued back on Oct 12 due to
severe pumphouse damage caused by a fire. According to reports, on Dec 23rd Beaver Ridge officials stated that the advisory had been lifted by Simcoe Muskoka DHU. However an email from the health
unit on Dec 30 stated that the advisory was still in effect as of that date. Subsequently there was a series of comments from both Beaver Ridge Estates and Simcoe Muskoka DHU regarding who dropped
the ball on this matter however neither party took responsibility. The BWA was officially rescinded by Simcoe-Muskoka Jan 3rd, at which time the health unit stated they would "look into the
matter." It is fortunate that there were no serious repercussions as a result of the misinformation.
Previously issued BWAs remain in effect in the following provincial parks: Algonquin, Biscotasi Lake, Fushimi Lake, Kawartha Highlands, MacLeod, Misery Bay, Missinaibi, Pakwash, Rene Brunelle, Shoals,
Sioux Narrows, Wakami.
Québec Advisory Map
