Water

By Angela Gemmill

A dump truck carrying limestone, fell off a barge into the water near Killarney, Monday morning.

It caused oil to leak into the Killarney Channel of Lake Huron.

Now the Sudbury & District Health Unit has a drinking water advisory in place for anyone who gets their water from the channel.

The 500 residents of the town of Killarney, who use the municipal water system are NOT affected.

However, town officials are asking everyone to conserve water.

An investigation and clean-up is underway by the Ontario Ministry of Environment.
