The WECHU is advising that water brought to a hard boil for one (1) minute should be used for consumption, infant feeding, or food and ice preparation. Alternatively, bottled water sources can be used for consumption. For further information on boil water advisories, please visit the Boil Water Advisory webpage.
The reason for the boil water advisory is due to a water main break that led to a loss in water pressure throughout the distribution system.
The WECHU is working closely with the Amherstburg Public Works Department. The boil water advisory measure will remain in place until system repairs are complete and satisfactory water sampling results are received.
