Lynden residents were notified that lead has been intermittently detected at concentrations above the maximum acceptable concentration in the Lynden water system. The Drinking Water Advisory will remain in effect until several months of consecutive acceptable lead results are obtained in order to determine a reasonable trend of acceptable lead concentrations.
“The recent and intermittent detection of lead above the maximum allowable cconcentration in the Lynden drinking water system is not perceived to be a risk to the health of the users of the Lynden water system in the short term,” said Dr. Chris Mackie, Associate Medical Officer of Health for the City of Hamilton. “We are confident that following the recommendations in the Drinking Water Advisory will protect the residents of Lynden from the potential health effects.”
Lynden residents who receive water from the Lynden drinking water system can use a water filter as a temporary intervention to ensure their tap water has acceptable lead concentrations. Public Works will provide two of these filters to each affected household over the next few days.
