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.
