Chapleau Boil Water Advisory Continues

Chapleau's expecting an update on its boil water advisory tomorrow afternoon.

While an "adverse" test result yesterday prompted the advisory, the Township says it has now submitted two sets of water samples for laboratory testing - two clear consecutive tests taken at least 24 hours apart must be obtained for the advisory to be lifted - with notification of results expected around 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

In the meantime, Public Health Sudbury and Districts is warning against using water from the municipal system for human consumption unless it's brought to a roiling boil for at least a minute prior to use, though the Township's distributing potable water to residents who bring their own container to the Water Treatment Plant from 9 am to 7 pm today, with plans to do the same tomorrow.
