Community Safety Alerts

Public Health Sudbury & Districts has issued a Drinking Water Advisory, effective immediately, for all residents of the Town of Mindemoya who receive water from the Mindemoya water treatment system.

This advisory follows a loss of water pressure that temporarily interrupted the municipal water supply. While service has since been restored, residents are advised not to use tap water for human consumption until further notice.

Under the Drinking Water Advisory, municipal water should NOT be used for drinking, making juice, infant formula, or ice, cooking, washing uncooked fruits and vegetables, and brushing teeth.

Boiling the water may not make it safe. Residents are strongly encouraged to use an alternate water source, such as bottled or potable water.

Municipal water can still be used for laundry and bathing (excluding small children who may swallow the water).

Public Health Sudbury & Districts will continue to monitor the situation and will notify the municipality when the advisory can be lifted.

To support residents during this advisory, the Municipality has arranged for potable water access from a water truck located outside the Mindemoya Arena. Residents are asked to bring their own containers to fill. There is also bottled water available at the Municipal Office in limited quantities. Residents may come in and request bottled water if needed.

The water truck will be available until 9:00 p.m. today, and the Municipal Office will remain open until that time for bottled water distribution on April 13th, 2026.

Residents are encouraged to use the potable water truck and fill personal containers first, helping to ensure bottled water remains available for those who need it most.

Information on water truck availability for tomorrow will be shared on the Municipality’s website and social media channels.

Residents are encouraged to monitor the Municipality’s website and social media pages for updates regarding the Drinking Water Advisory and water availability.

The Municipality thanks residents for their patience and cooperation as Public Health continues to assess the situation.

The Municipality of Central Manitoulin advises residents that sidewalk maintenance has been challenging following the recent storm. Significant ice and snow accumulation has made it difficult for standard equipment, and the sidewalk cleaner is not sufficient under the current conditions.

Crews will be bringing in heavier equipment to properly remove the buildup and restore safe access along municipal walkways. This work will take time, and we appreciate the public’s patience as crews work to address these conditions.

Residents are urged to avoid using the sidewalks, as the current surfaces will be slippery and uneven. Please also exercise care when approaching or passing any equipment being used for snow and ice removal.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to improve sidewalk safety.

With the temperature drop and the possibility of ongoing power outages, the Municipality of Central Manitoulin has opened the Council Chambers today as a warming station. Anyone needing a safe, warm place is encouraged to stop in.

ase be advised that the Central Manitoulin Municipal Office will be closed today, March 16, 2026, due to the ongoing weather advisory and hazardous road conditions.

Updates will be shared as conditions change.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

The Municipality of Central Manitoulin is advising residents that an Inclement Weather Advisory is in effect as of March 15, 2026 due to ongoing hazardous winter weather conditions, including snow and ice.

These conditions may result in slippery and hazardous roads and sidewalks, and municipal crews may not be able to maintain all areas to regular service levels during this time.

Residents are encouraged to use caution when travelling within the municipality and to avoid unnecessary travel if possible.

Municipal staff will continue to monitor conditions and respond as weather allows. Updates will be shared on the municipal website and social media as conditions change.

The Municipality of Central Manitoulin is advising residents that a Significant Weather Event has been declared, effective immediately.

Due to inclement weather, please be advised that all municipal facilities, including the Providence Bay and J.H. Burt Memorial Arenas, will be closed this evening.

Additionally, tonight’s Finance and Economic Development Committee meeting will be held virtually only. Members of the public wishing to attend are asked to join online.

Thank you for understanding, and please stay safe.
