By Rosalind Russell – The town of Mindemoya has notified Public Health Sudbury & Districts that due to watermain repairs, water to the community was cut off at approximately 11 pm last night.
The drinking water advisory is now in effect for all residents of Mindemoya.
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.
Repairs were done to the water delivery system by the municipality, so it and the agency are erring on the side of caution.
During the advisory, residents can bring and fill their own containers to the water treatment plant, located at 61 Old Highway 551 in Mindemoya.
Public Health staff will continue to monitor the situation and will notify the municipality when the drinking water advisory is lifted, and residents will be advised.
