Southwestern Public Health has issued the advisory for residents connected to the municipal water supply on William Street south of Wettlaufer Street. Until further notice, residents are being asked to bring their water to a rolling boil for at least 1 minute before using it for drinking, making infant formula or juice, brushing their teeth, washing raw foods, or making ice.
