Drinking water advisory issued for residents of Mindemoya starting at approximately 11 p.m.
The town of Mindemoya has notified Public Health Sudbury & Districts that due to watermain repairs, water to the community will be cut off at approximately 11 p.m. on Monday, October 5, 2026. A drinking water advisory will be in effect for all residents of Mindemoya at approximately 11 p.m. once the water has been cut off.
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).
During the advisory, residents can bring and fill their own containers to the water treatment plant, located at 61 Old Highway 551 in Mindemoya.
Residents should not use the water for human consumption until advised otherwise by Public Health Sudbury & Districts.
It is possible that repairs to the water main can create conditions that compromise the safety of the drinking water,” said Burgess Hawkins, a manager in Public Health’s Health Protection Division. “Until bacteriological testing of the drinking water indicates a safe supply, the drinking water advisory will remain in effect as a precaution.
Public Health staff will continue to monitor the situation. Public Health Sudbury & Districts will notify the municipality when the drinking water advisory is lifted and residents will be advised.
