Chapleau Still Under Water Advisory

Chapleau remains under a water advisory after problems at the water treatment plant.

The advisory was issued after equipment failure at the plant Tuesday morning caused a lost of pressure for the distribution system, and - while that's been restored - Public Health Sudbury and Districts warns the loss of pressure may have "created conditions that compromised the safety of the drinking water", advising against using the water for human consumption until testing indicates it's safe.

In the meantime, the Township's offering potable water to residents who attend the Water Treatment Plant with their own containers between 9 am to 7 pm today and tomorrow.
