Some turbulence in Lake Erie is causing more water issues for residents in Chatham-Kent.
On Thursday, municipal officials warned of the possibility of slight discolouration in tap water for residents in Bothwell.
Now, that has extended to residents in Wheatley and Tilbury as well.
Officials say the safety of the water is not affected by the colour issue, and no test results have indicated there is any health risk from drinking the water.
The cause is naturally occurring colour in the Lake Erie raw water supply related to water temperature fluctuations and lake turnover.
The Wheatley and Tilbury water distribution system receives its water from the Water Treatment Plant in Wheatley and some residents may have experience the discoloured water starting Friday night. Once the lake returns to normal, the system will be flushed.
The Chatham-Kent PUC is keeping the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit informed and the Public Health Unit will continue to consult with the PUC until the situation resolves.
