The City of Longueuil has issued a boil water advisory for Boucherville, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Saint-Hubert and parts of Vieux-Longueuil.
The advisory was issued around 2:45 a.m., after a drop in water pressure due to the power outage caused by tropical storm Debby.
Residents are being told to to boil water for at least one minute before consuming. This is for any form of consumption including:
- To drink and prepare beverages;
- To prepare baby bottles and baby food;
- To wash and prepare raw food (fruits, vegetables, etc.);
- To prepare foods that do not require extended cooking time (canned soups, desserts, etc.);
- To make ice cubes;
- To brush your teeth and rinse your mouth;
- To provide drinking water to pets.
It is believed around 200,000 people in Montreal’s South Shore are still affected. A complete view of where the boil water advisory is still in effect can be viewed on the City of Longueuil website.
