[Return to Ontario | Return to province list]

Sudbury

Type: Do Not Consume  -  Inactive

Issued: 9/21/2017

Details:

The Sudbury & District Health Unit has issued a drinking water advisory effective immediately for the residents of Greater Sudbury 
on Lancaster Drive, Windsor Crescent, Tudor Court, Gloucester Court 
and York Street between Hillsdale Crescent and Gloucester Court.

The City of Greater Sudbury is working to re-establish the water supply, 
which was interrupted due to a pipeline failure. 

Once the water supply is re-established, residents should not use the water for human consumption until advised otherwise by the Health Unit.


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 fruits 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 City of Greater Sudbury advises that residents can bring and fill their own containers at the nearest water filling stations 
located on Bancroft Drive in Sudbury near Moonlight beach Road, Spruce Street in Garson, and Countryside Drive in Sudbury near the Gerry McCrory Countryside Sports Complex.
