Boil water advisory in effect in Rosemont, la Petite-Patrie, Villeray, Parc-Ex and Saint-Michel
The City of Montreal has announced that there is a precautionary boil water advisory in effect in Rosemont, la Petite Patrie, Villeray, Parc Ex and Saint-Michel. According to Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante, the advisory was called due to a water main break at the corner of 18th Avenue and Bélanger.
“At present, there is no indication that water quality or supply is compromised. However, there is a precautionary boil water advisory in the area.”
Plante also noted that the broken pipe has been fixed and Hydro-Québec is working on restoring power to thousands of nearby residents who lost electricity due to the water main break.
Santé Montréal shared a link to best practices during a boil water advisory. Among the warnings, it’s noted that freezing water does not kill germs and that home filtration systems such as Brita do not eliminate potentially harmful microorganisms.
