    People living on Morris Street east of Van Horne and all streets leading off Morris in Greater Sudbury are under a drinking water advisory, the health unit said Tuesday.

    "Public Health Sudbury & Districts has issued a drinking water advisory effective immediately for all residents of Morris Street east of Van Horne, Silverman Street, Janet Street, St. Antoine Street, Jeanne D’Arc Avenue, Marshall Lane, Cartier Avenue off Janet Street, and 565, 566, and 570 Van Horne Avenue in Greater Sudbury," the advisory said.

    "A drinking water advisory means that people who take their water from the municipal system should not use it for drinking."

    That includes making juice, infant formula, or ice. The water is not suitable for cooking, washing uncooked fruit and vegetables or brushing teeth.

    "Boiling the water may not make it safe for drinking," Public Health said.

    "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)."

     

    Although Greater Sudbury has re-established the water supply, which was interrupted due to a watermain break, residents should not use the water for human consumption until advised otherwise by the health unit.

    The advisory will remain in effect until "until bacteriological testing of the drinking water indicates a safe supply," Public Health said.

    For more information, call the health unit at 705-522-9200, ext. 464, toll-free 1-866-522-9200 or click here.
