There is also non-drinking water available at several locations including the municipal office in Tusket.

About 10-15 millimetres of rain is forecast for Sunday.
Argyle CAO Alain Muise says residents should try to gather some of that rain, if they can.
“These times call for those kinds of measures. For those that haven’t thought of that, put out the equipment to collect water from gutters, etc, so at least that type of water could be used for flushing the toilet.”
