The drinking water advisory put in place on Monday for the residents of Killarney has been lifted.
Public Health Sudbury & Districts has officially lifted the drinking water advisory that came into effect Monday, November 10, 2025, for Killarney.
Public Health said in a news release that the drinking water advisory was put in place because of a temporary loss of pressure in the municipal water system. Since then, it was determined the tap water is now safe to drink.
“The bacteriological quality of the water supply has been tested with no adverse results being reported,” said Burgess Hawkins, a manager in Public Health’s Health Protection Division.
“Residents in the affected areas may notice chlorine odours and discoloured water," he added.
Actions to take after a drinking water advisory is lifted and before using the water:
- Run cold water faucets for 5 minutes or until the water runs clear.
- Run drinking fountains for 5 minutes before using the water or until the water runs clear.
- Run water softeners through a regeneration cycle.
- Drain and refill hot water heaters.
- Large-volume users (for example, schools) may need to run cold water taps longer on first use.
- To get rid of sediment, faucet screens should be removed, rinsed and put back in place.
