Gogama's under a drinking water advisory.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts says a power failure interrupted the town's water supply, and - while it has been re-established - that could have "compromised the safety of the drinking water", prompting the advisory warning residents not to use water from the municipal system for human consumption until advised otherwise by the health unit, once testing confirms the water's safe.
It further warns that boiling may not make the water safe for drinking - or making juice, infant formula, or ice, washing uncooked fruits and vegetables, or brushing teeth - though it could be used for laundry or bathing, except for small children who could swallow the water.
