Local health authorities have given the water in St. Lucy the all-clear.
The Ministry of Health and Wellness has announced after collecting numerous sanitary water samples in the parish, the Environmental Health Department is satisfied the swabbing and chlorination exercise conducted by the Barbados Water Authority has been successful.
The Ministry stated the exercise yielded the desired results of rendering the water potable at the time of sampling.
It further noted both the clarity and colour of water samples in several areas of the parish have improved.
As a result, the Ministry of Health, in conjunction with the BWA, has advised the boil water notice which was previously issued has been removed, and residents may resume their usual use of tap water.
