Irving Oil Ltd. has been charged in relation to a diesel spill in Woodstock that was discovered in December 2024, according to a Wednesday news release.

Grant Enterprises Ltd. has also been charged.

In mid-December 2024, a Tim Hortons on Beardsley Road, which is beside Murray’s Irving gas station and restaurant, reported its water was contaminated with fuel. That led the restaurant and gas station to close following the discovery of the diesel leak at the Irving.
