Foleyet Boil Water Advisory Lifted

Foleyet's no longer under a boil water advisory.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts says the advisory issued Sunday evening - after a loss of disinfectant in its drinking water system - has now been lifted, as tests have confirmed the water's safe for consumption.

The health unit does suggest residents run cold water faucets for five minutes or until the water runs clear, put water softeners through a regeneration cycle, drain and refill hot water heaters, and replace water filters used during the advisory.

PHSD's also lifted a drinking water advisory that was issued for Gore Bay the same evening, when its water distribution system was shut down for scheduled maintenance.
