Boil-water advisory in place on N.S.-P.E.I. ferry for over a month
Ein Abkochgebot ("boil-water advisory") ist auf der MV Confederation Fähre in Kraft, die zwischen Wood Islands, P.E.I., und Caribou, N.S., verkehrt. Die Anordnung wurde am 9. Juli 2023 erteilt, nachdem Wassertanks positiv auf Kolibakterien getestet wurden, wobei Wasserqualitätsprobleme bereits seit April bestanden. Das Unternehmen, Northumberland Ferries Limited, führt eine Superchlorierung der Wassertanks durch und vermutet die Kontamination in St. John's, N.L., beim Verlassen des Trockendocks. Update (CBC News, 10.09.2026, 23:55): Bottled water was initially offered. The advisory remains active until two consecutive clear test results are received.
