2006 Water Consumers Newsletter

Power Failure Precautions

The water systems serving the Sauble, Oliphant and
Chesley Lake areas have no means of maintaining
water pressure during a power failure. By May 1,
2006, the Huron Woods and Foreman water systems
will have back up power installed.

During a power failure, the water system loses
pressure, increasing the risk that contaminants may
enter the distribution system. It is recommended that
you follow these precautions:

ýMinimize the use of water which helps to prevent
loss of pressure
ýAssume the water may not be safe to drink; use an
alternative supply of drinking water or bring your
drinking water to a rapid, rolling boil for one minute
before use

Following the power failure, water pressure will be
restored. The water will be tested and full disinfection
of the water system will be restored. It is
recommended that you take the following
precautions:
ýRun the water until it feels cool. Run for another
minute (flushes the plumbing in your home)
ýRemove, rinse and replace screens on taps
ýFor 72 hours following the return of power and
water pressure, assume the water may not be safe to
drink; use an alternative supply of drinking water or
bring your drinking water to a rapid, rolling boil for
one minute before using for drinking, cooking and
oral hygiene
ýCleaning, washing clothes, dishwashing and bathing
can commence immediately after the return of water
pressure
ýAfter 72 hours, assume the water is safe for all uses
unless otherwise advised
ýAdditional flushing may be required if a water
softener or other water treatment is attached to the
cold water supply line.

Power Failure and Food Safety in Your Home

Power Failure and Food Safety in Your Home
In the event of electrical power failure affecting your home, one of the immediate
concerns you should be made aware of is food safety.

Each home will essentially have two categories of foods:

1) Non-Hazardous Foods:

Vegetables, fruits, breads, pastas, flour, canned foods, and hard cheeses.

These foods can be eaten as long as they were not contaminated with sewage, water or
drippings from meats, fish, etc.

2) Hazardous Foods: (Cooked or Uncooked)

Poultry, beef, pork, fish, cream, eggs, milk, soft cheeses, mayo

These foods are required to be kept at refrigerated temperatures (4 degrees Celcius or
