September 28, 2023

September 28th is the 271st day of the year. There are 94 days remaining until the end of the year.

Those affected by the boil water advisory in Wheatley and Tilbury can pick up free bottled water beginning today.

The Municipality of Chatham-Kent will have bottled water available to be picked up at the Wheatley arena and Tilbury arena parking lots from noon until 6 p.m. every day until the boil water advisory ends.

This will ensure easier access to drinking water for those affected by the two week old boil water advisory.

Bottled water will still be made available for vulnerable populations through the Wheatley Resource Centre (108 Talbot Road E.) and the Tilbury Food Bank (26 Queen St. N.).

Up-to-date information about the boil water advisory and Wheatley Water Treatment Plant can be found here. The Boil Water Advisory Update Line can be reached by calling 519-436-3250.

How about this one, a runner up:

Doctor: Hi there, how can I help you today?
Patient: I think I’m a moth.
Doctor: You don’t need to see a doctor, you need to see a psychiatrist!
Patient: I know, but I was passing and your light was on.
