Public Health Sudbury & Districts has issued a drinking water advisory effective immediately for all residents of the Town of Gogama. 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 fruit 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). Although the Town of Gogama has re-established the water supply, which was interrupted due to a power failure, residents should not use the water for human consumption until advised otherwise by Public Health Sudbury & Districts.
