Chapleau Issues Update on Water Advisory

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

An update from the Township notes pressure has been restored after a drop Tuesday morning - caused by equipment failure at the Water Treatment Plant - and a flushing program was completed for the water distribution system that day.

It explains that two water samples must be taken 24 hours apart for laboratory testing, with the first taken yesterday and the second this morning, though testing's expected to take about 24 hours - Public Health Sudbury and Districts will then review the results and decide whether to lift the advisory.

In the meantime, the Township's offering potable water to residents who attend the Water Treatment Plant with their own containers between until 7 pm tonight, with plans to offer it "as needed" tomorrow.
