St Clair Township is warning residents not to use water from the St Clair River after a spill at the Suncor dock.
Just after 1:30 Thursday Suncor officials notified the community and the Ministry of the Environment, Parks and Conservation about a spill into the river.
“As part of this response, community members will notice an odour in the vicinity of the Suncor dock,” Suncor said in the notice.
Emergency crews from Suncor and Shell, downriver from the Suncor dock, have placed booms in the water to contain the yet-to-be identified substance.
Booms were also being deployed at the Shell docks as surveillance boats circled in the area around 2:30 pm
An investigator from the MECP is also on scene as is the St Clair fire department.
