Do Not Drink Water Order in Effect

Public Health Sudbury & Districts has issued a drinking water advisory effective immediately for all residents of the Town of Mindemoya who get their water from the Mindemoya water treatment system on Douglas Street, Yonge Street south of Douglas Street, King Street (Highway 542), and areas south of King Street (Highway 542).

A drinking water advisory means that people who take their water from the municipal system should NOT use it for drinking; making juice, infant formula, or ice; cooking; washing uncooked fruit and vegetables; or brushing teeth. Boiling the water may not make it safe for drinking. For these purposes, water from an alternate source, such as bottled water, should be used. The water can be used for laundry and bathing (excluding small children who could swallow the water).

The town advises that residents can bring and fill their own containers at the nearest water filling station, free of charge, located at the town’s water treatment plant located at 61 Old Hwy 551, Mindemoya.

Although the town has re-established the water supply, which was interrupted due to a loss of pressure, residents should not use the water for human consumption until advised otherwise by Public Health Sudbury & Districts.

“It is possible that the loss of water pressure created conditions that compromised the safety of the drinking water,” said Burgess Hawkins, a manager in Public Health’s Health Protection Division. “Until bacteriological testing of the drinking water indicates a safe supply, the drinking water advisory will remain in effect as a precaution.”

Public Health staff will continue to monitor the situation. Public Health Sudbury & Districts will notify the municipality when the drinking water advisory is lifted and residents will be advised.

For more information, please call Public Health Sudbury & Districts at 705.522.9200, ext. 398 (toll-free 1.866.522.9200) or visit phsd.ca.

Sale of Land by Public Tender

A Sale of Land by Public Tender (also referred to as a ‘Tax Sale’) is governed by the Municipal Act, 2001, and Ontario Regulation 181/03 (the “Municipal Tax Sales Rules”). By following the process set out in this legislation, the municipality has an opportunity to sell land which is in arrears of taxes in order to recover the arrears.

The Municipality registers a Tax Arrears Certificate on the title of a property in tax arrears for at least two (2) years. This certificate indicates that the property will be sold if the “Cancellation Price” is not paid within one year of registration of the certificate.

The Municipality advertises the property(s) for sale due to non-payment of taxes if the “Cancellation Price” is not paid within the one year registration of the certificate and no tax extension agreement has been executed.

Information on Sale of Land for Tax Arrears by Public Tender are conducted following the Regulations set out in The Municipal Act and will be posted in The Ontario Gazette. It will also be posted in the local newspaper.
