Wawa's boil water advisory remains in effect.
Noting the advisory will remain until an order is issued - in consultation with Algoma Public Health - to rescind it, CAO/Clerk Maury O'Neill does note some positive news.
O'Neill says the Municipality's hopeful those results will arrive later today, and possibly lead to the advisory being lifted by "suppertime", though there is no guarantee.
The advisory - which covers all households and businesses in the community, including Michipicoten River Village - warns people can still use water from the municipal system for washing and bathing - though 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.
