LONGUEUIL, QC, Aug. 11,
2024 /CNW/ - The city of Longueuil has lifted
the boil water advisory for the city of Boucherville, the Saint-Hubert borough and the affected portion
of the Vieux-Longueuil borough as the results of recent analyses
carried out on the network are compliant with the norms. The
residents affected by this advisory no longer need to boil their
water before consumption.
The boil water advisory for the city of Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville is maintained, as
the city is waiting for results of sample analyses. The city of
Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville will
communicate with its residents on social media about further
developments.
What to do once a boil water advisory has been
lifted?
Once a boil water advisory has been lifted, there
are no special measures to take. The water remains safe to drink.
However, the following precautions can be taken, as mentioned on
the website of Urgence Québec :
- Open all cold water taps and let the water run for a few
minutes before using it, to enable the complete emptying of all
piping. Follow the same procedure for drinking fountains and
drinking troughs;
- Empty, wash and disinfect ice machines;
- Flush out garden hoses and outdoor taps;
- If you have a home water treatment device, follow the
manufacturer's recommendations. However, it is not necessary to
drain a hot water tank.
