CK Public Health officials say a Boil Water Advisory has been issued to all consumers of the Wallaceburg Distribution System on the Chatham-Kent Municipal water supply.
Chatham-Kent’s Medical Officer of Health, Dr. David Colby, is advising residents to bring their water to a rolling boil for at least one minute prior to using it for domestic purposes e.g. drinking, making infant formula and juice, brushing teeth, washing raw foods and making ice.
The reason for the boil water advisory is due to a water main break and repair, CK Public Health officials say.
This advisory measure is in place until CK Public Health receives good results from two consecutive sets of samples taken a minimum of 24 hours apart.
Updates will be provided via the Water Advisory update line, call 519-436-3250.
