Chatham-Kent Public Health reminds people of the Chatham-Kent municipal water distribution systems for Wheatley and Tilbury that a boil water advisory remains in effect.
The Boil Water Advisory was declared on Wednesday, September 13th, due to a loss in water pressure through the distribution system. The advisory follows a fire that broke out at the Wheatley Water Treatment Plant early Wednesday afternoon, rendering the plant not operational for the time being.
This advisory applies to all users of the Chatham-Kent Municipal Water Distribution Systems in Wheatley and Tilbury, including:
Mint Waterline Association
D&O Waterline Association
3rd Concession Waterline Association
3rd & 4th Concession Waterline Association
KOA Waterline Association
Cedar Inn Water Line Association
Richardson Sideroad Waterline Association
Tecumseh Waterline Association
Tilbury Townline Waterline Association
Leamington (Wheatley DS)
As the South Water Treatment Plant system is assisting in supplying water to the Wheatley and Tilbury systems through interconnect valves, The Public Utilities Commission is also asking customers within the service area of the South Water Treatment Plant (which includes the communities of Blenheim, Merlin, Coatsworth, Shrewsbury, Rondeau and Erieau) to conserve water until further notice.
More information about the boil water advisory will be provided through the Water Advisory Update Line at 519-436-3250.
