More on this story we first told you about.
The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU) is advising the public that a diesel fuel spill into Henshaw Lake has now been remediated and that recommended drinking water precautions are now lifted.
SMDHU issued a notice on April 9 that private drinking water drawn from Lake Henshaw could be impacted by the fuel spill, and as a precaution, recommended that residents use an alternate water source.
Water samples collected by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP), which monitored the clean-up, have shown that the spill was successfully remediated.
