A supply of emergency bottled water is being brought in to the communities of Wheatley and Tilbury as the boil water advisory remains in effect in throughout those areas.
The municipality of Chatham-Kent says this is a precautionary measure to ensure that vulnerable people have access to free bottled water should the need arise.
Bottled water has been distributed to the Wheatley Resource Centre and the Tilbury Food Bank.
The boil water advisory has been in effect since September 13 after a fire at the Wheatley water treatment plant.
During a boil water advisory, as per CK Public Health guidelines, water is safe to be consumed after bringing it to a rolling boil for one minute.
