Boil Water Advisory in Town of Ingersoll

Southwestern Public Health has issued a boil water advisory to all users of the Ingersoll Municipal Water Supply. This advisory encompasses all municipal water supply users within the Town of Ingersoll.

Those affected are notified by the County of Oxford and will be notified when the advisory is lifted.

Dr. Ninh Tran, Medical Officer of Health, recommends that all affected residents bring water to a rolling boil for at least one full minute before using it for:

• Drinking
• Preparing infant formula or juice
• Brushing teeth
• Washing raw foods
• Making ice
