Updated - Friday, June 21, 4:30pm - LIFTING of boil water advisory for affected portion of Vieux-Longueuil borough

The City of Longueuil has lifted its boil water advisory for the affected portion of the Fatima-Parcours-du-Cerf district, in the Vieux-Longueuil borough, as the results of recent analyses carried out on the Longueuil network are compliant with the norms. The residents affected by this advisory no longer need to boil their water before consumption.  

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.
