Cleanup underway after hydrocarbon spill in Muskrat River in Pembroke, Ont.
The city and the Ministry of Environment are investigating the oil spill in the river over the weekend.
'Staff are working to determine the source and absorbent cloth across the river will stay in place until then,' the city said in a media release Monday morning.
'Cleanup activities are ongoing, with no further contaminant going into the river. The drinking water system is producing clean drinking water as usual.'
City officials say no drinking water quality advisories are in place, and the city has not been informed of any concerns with the overall river safety.
