Foleyet Remains Under Boil Water Advisory

Foleyet remains under a boil water advisory after a loss of disinfectant in its drinking water system.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts issued the advisory Sunday night, warning those who take their water from Foleyet's municipal system not to use it for human consumption - like drinking, cooking, washing fruits and vegetables, or brushing teeth - unless it is first brought to a roiling boil for at least a minute prior to use - it could, however, be used for laundry or bathing without boiling first.

The advisory will remain in effect until testing confirms it's safe.

It was one of two water advisories issued by the health unit Sunday night, as a drinking water advisory was issued for Gore Bay due to scheduled maintenance that required the Town to shut down its water distribution system.
