Nova Scotia residents near a lake with a suspected blue-green algae bloom are being offered bottled water and shower facilities amid ongoing warnings to avoid using water from Grand Lake, north of Halifax.
Nova Scotia's deputy environment minister said investigations are continuing into a suspected blue-green algae bloom in Grand Lake. An advisory remains in place in the meantime.
Halifax Water says its tap water is safe for consumption after an emergency alert was issued early Thursday morning warning about suspected contamination in Grand Lake.
