The City of Chilliwack says the drinking water in the community is now free of any e-coli contamination after a positive test result yesterday.
Mayor Sharon Gaetz says re-testing results have come back.
“The result is a big fat zero.”
But Gaetz says while the water is now fine they will still launch an investigation to determine how it tested positive for e-coli yesterday.
“We will be working with the Fire Department to, to find out if they had any kind of activity in the last few weeks out there. There is all kinds of work that will be happening. We are hoping to know what the results are soon but you know in the end we may not know it all but we are going to do our very best to come up with an answer to determine a cause.”
The city is flushing the system with chlorine and Gaetz says it is up to Fraser Health to shut it down
