The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit is advising residents and businesses receiving water from the South River Water Treatment Plant to boil their water before drinking.
Officials say residents are advised to bring water that they intend to consume to a rolling boil for a full minute. They add a boil water advisory has been issued due to increased turbidity (impurities) in its water source that is interfering with the treatment process.
The boil water advisory remains in effect until further notice.
The Health Unit will make the public aware when the advisory has been lifted through the media and the Health Unit’s social media channels.
