As part of the Hickson Avenue and Union Boulevard reconstruction project, we will need to shut off the water service this Thursday, June 4, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., to the following addresses:
- 305 and 307 Osborne Street;
- 33 to 73 Cleghorn Avenue;
- 92 Bétournay Avenue.
Once water service is restored, a preventive boil water advisory will be in effect. Affected residents must boil water for 1 minute before consuming it, until further notice.
All affected residents have received a door hanger informing them of the situation.
What should I do if I receive a boil water notice?
- Boil the water for at least 1 minute before drinking or using it, until the notice is lifted.
- You can also use bottled water.
- If the water is cloudy or smells of chlorine, run the cold tap water (ideally the bath water) until it becomes clear (± 30 minutes), especially before doing the laundry. If the color remains after running for more than 30 minutes, please inform the city of the situation.
Use boiled or bottled water for :
- Drinking
- Making beverages and juices
- Brushing your teeth
- Washing raw fruit and vegetables
- Preparing meals
- Making ice cubes
You can use tap water for :
- Washing dishes in hot water (dry thoroughly afterwards)
- Doing laundry
- Taking a shower or bath (be careful not to let young children swallow any water)
- Cooking foods that boil for a long time (soups, pasta, potatoes, etc.)
- And for other uses that don't require you to drink the water.
Follow these instructions until the City informs you that the water is safe to drink again.
