Some residents of the borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro, in the west of Montreal, must boil their water for one minute before drinking it or brushing their teeth, warns the City of Montreal.
Posted at 8:57 p.m.
The boil water advisory began on Wednesday due to work caused by a water main break on a main line located on Pierrefonds Boulevard. “Teams from the Agglomeration are currently on site to repair the pipe,” the City said in a press release.
The area affected by this notice is located on boulevard de Pierrefonds, between boulevard Saint-Charles and rue de Nanterre and between rue Guillaume and rue Émile-Nelligan. A drop in water pressure or water interruptions are to be expected during the duration of the repair work, the city warns.
Affected residents should boil water for at least 1 minute before consuming it or using it to brush their teeth. Unboiled drinking water can however be used for hygiene care or other domestic purposes.
