Chapleau Awaiting Test Results In Hopes of Boil Water Advisory Ending

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

An "adverse" test result on Wednesday prompted the advisory, requiring two clear consecutive tests taken at least 24 hours apart for the advisory to be lifted - the Township says it has since submitted two sets of water samples for laboratory testing, with notification of results expected around 4 o'clock today.

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 between 9 am and 7 pm today, as necessary.
