In Ontario, a blue-green algae advisory was reported by Northwestern Health for Lulu Lake (near Kenora). The algae bloom is currently being tested by MECP (Ministry of Environment,
Conservation and Parks). Eastern Ontario Health issued a BWA to House of Lazarus while HKPR District Health issued a Boil Order to Wilberforce Drinking Water Supply; advisory causes were not stated.
First Nation Long Term BWAs have been lifted for Shoal Lake No. 40 and Washagamis Bay. In the case of Shoal Lake, 6 of 7 BWAs have been lifted while the 7th is scheduled to be rescinded in late Fall.
According to Indigenous Services Canada (ISC): "the advisories, in place since February 1997, were lifted after a new water treatment plant was built and extensive upgrades to the existing water
distribution system were completed to support the community current and long-term drinking water needs." Washagamis had 2 BWAs lifted. In place since December 2008, they were lifted after
a new water treatment plant was built and upgrades to the existing water distribution system were completed. A previously issued short term BWA to Mishkeegogamang Ace Lake has now been cateogrized
as Long Term. According to ISC: "The advisory was issued as a preventative measure to safeguard public health and safety due to existing equipment inadequately disinfecting the treated water.
Upgrades to the system are underway and anticipated to be complete this fall."
