Wawa's under a boil water advisory.
The Municipality announced Saturday morning that the advisory had been issued for the entire community - including Michipicoten River Village - warning people can still use water from the municipal system for washing and bathing - it's best to sponge bathe younger children and infants - but it should not be used for any activities where it may be ingested, such as drinking, brushing teeth, or washing fruits and vegetables unless it is first brought to a "roiling boil" for at least one minute prior to use.
Covering all households and businesses connected to the Wawa water supply system, the advisory will remain in effect until microbiological water samples confirm the safety of the water, not expected until at least Monday.
For further information, call the Municipality's Public Works Department at 705-856-2244, extension 287 or 705-914-0952.
