Wawa's Boil Water Advisory Lifted

Wawa's boil water advisory has been lifted.

The Municipality's announced that "recent water samples collected and analyzed were found to be in compliance with provincial regulations" so the advisory issued Saturday morning has now been rescinded, with Algoma Public Health approving the lifting of restrictions on using the municipal water supply.

Covering all households and businesses connected to the Wawa water supply system - including in the Michipicoten River Village - the advisory had warned against using water from the municipal system for any activities where it may be ingested without first bringing it to a "roiling boil" for at least one minute prior to use.

Those with questions are encouraged to call Algoma Public Health at 705-356-2551 or municipal employees at 705-856-2244, extension 287 or 705-914-0291.
