Residents of Chippewas of the Thames First Nation are being cautioned to boil their water immediately as it has been deemed unsafe to drink.
A precautionary boil water advisory came into effect at 4 p.m. Tuesday, cautioning residents to boil water from their supply.
The advisory also applies to Muncee-Delaware Nation.
"Any water being used for cooking, drinking, brushing teeth, making beverages, washing babies, and washing fruit and vegetables should be boiled for ONE MINUTE and cooled before use," read a statement on the Chippewas of the Thames website.
The First Nation urges anyone who becomes ill after drinking community water to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Residents are also being asked to conserve their water usage during this time.
Water distribution will take place on Wednesday, providing door-to-door delivery to affected households in Chippewas of the Thames and Munsee-Delaware.
Residents will be notified when the community water is safe to drink again.
The last precautionary boil water advisory was issued on July 7 for the First Nation, ending on Aug. 23.
