Boil water advisory lifted in Igloolik, Nunavut, after nearly 5 months

A boil water advisory put in place in July in Igloolik, Nunavut, was lifted on Wednesday, says Nunavut's Department of Health. 

The hamlet of about 2,000 people was put on a precautionary boil water advisory on July 22. 

A news release in July said the advisory was issued over high turbidity, or cloudiness, in the water.

A separate news release issued Wednesday afternoon said the advisory had been lifted. 

This year alone, 11 of Nunavut's 25 communities have been under boil water advisories at least once.
