Water

By Angela Gemmill

The Ministry of Environment is investigating after an unknown oily substance was found in the Whitson River yesterday.

The Sudbury & District Health Unit now has a Drinking Water Advisory in effect for anyone who uses water from that source.

Residents along the Whitson should not use the water for cooking, washing food or brushing teeth, but instead use water from another source or bottled water.

The source of the contamination is not yet known.
