Notice to affected residences:

• Van Every Street: all civic addresses

Please note that we will have to cut off the water supply to your household tomorrow, Friday, May 31, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. to repair a water main break that occurred in your area this afternoon.  In preparation for this work, we recommend that you stock up on potable water to meet your consumption needs during this period.

Once water supply is restored, a preventative boil-water advisory will be in effect for a minimum of 48 hours and until further notice.  You will need to boil your tap water for at least one minute before drinking it, for food preparation and to brush your teeth.

You will be notified of the lifting of the boil-water advisory once we receive conclusive results of laboratory analyses conducted on water samples taken at various locations.

Thank you for your understanding.

Recommended instructions applicable during boiling water periods:

Please note that you must boil your tap water (bringing it to a bubbling boil) for at least 1 minute before drinking it, or use bottled water for:

• drinking or preparing beverages;
• preparing baby bottles and baby food;
• washing and preparing food to be eaten raw (fruits, vegetables, etc.);
• preparing food that doesn’t require long cooking time;
• making ice cubes;

You may use unboiled tap water to:

• prepare food and dishes that require long boiling time for cooking;
