Residents in the Kings Park community in Richmond are no longer being asked to boil their water for at least one minute before drinking it.

Ottawa Public Health had issued a precautionary boil-water advisory Saturday evening because of a depressurization in the area's communal well system.

Residents were warned to boil water for food preparation, brushing their teeth and rinsing dishes. Officials said the tap water was safe for showering and bathing.

The advisory was lifted Sunday evening after tests revealed that the water was safe for all purposes.

Residents are advised to run the cold water tap for one minute upon first use.
