The rupture of the water main disrupted water supply and/or caused water pressure in parts of the water system to drop to very low levels in the Progress Road area. This Boil Water Advisory is being issued out of an abundance of caún as there is the potential that a health hazard may exist due to microbial contamination in the affected areas without positive pressure. The Boil Water Advisory is in effect from 12:00pm on July 26, 2026 and will remain in effect until further notice. The areas affected include, but are not limited to the following areas within the Yukon service delivery area: Progess Road (South of4-way stop at Maddox Drive to Hwy 5 South) Dogwood Drive
