A boil water advisory has been issued by Southwestern Public Health for residents connected to the municipal water supply on William Street south of Wettlaufer Street in Tavistock.

This advisory is being issued as a precautionary measure in case of potential contamination following a water main break/pressure loss. Residents in this area were notified of the boil water advisory tonight and will be notified again when they can return to normal water use.
