A boil water advisory issued on March 30 remains in place for residents connected to the Picton and Bloomfield water system despite the successful recovery of a partially submerged barge in Picton Bay on Saturday afternoon. A bulk water station where residents can purchase potable water has been set up in Wellington at the Wellington and District Community Centre on 111 Belleville St. The county is working to install another bulk water unit in Picton. A statement from Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans said all hazardous materials have been removed from the vessel. The deck of the barge is now fully out of the water.
