These interventions will require the closure of a section of Valérie Street, a temporary interruption of the drinking water supply service, and a preventive boil water advisory. Street Closure To carry out preparatory work, Valérie Street will be closed to traffic between Harmony and Cordova Streets starting July 2. Please note that this work may result in reduced water pressure in the area. Planned interruption of the drinking water service To carry out the maintenance work, we will have to interrupt your drinking water service as of 8 a.m. on Thursday, July 3. In anticipation of this interruption, we recommend that affected residents stock up on water to meet their consumption needs during the interruption 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. Recommendations: 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; brushing your teeth or rinsing your mouth; providing water to pets. You may use unboiled tap water to: prepare food and dishes that require long boiling time for cooking; wash dishes in hot water, making sure to dry them well; wash clothing; take a shower or bath (make sure that young children do not swallow water while bathing). Lifting of the boil-water advisory Water samples will be collected from various locations and submitted for laboratory analysis. The boil-water advisory will be lifted once we receive the results of these tests, which requires a minimum of 48 hours.

Ragweed or poison ivy?

Ragweed

Poison Ivy

Plant Description

Annual plant that dies in late fall
Its toothed leaves are similar to carrot leaves, are solid green on both sides and have 3 distinct lobes
When in bloom, flowers are greenish yellow and clustered in cones at the top of the stem
The plant is 10 cm to 1.5 m tall
The plant grows in poor soil
The allergenic element is the pollen which causes hay fever

Plant Description

Perennial plant, which can appear in various forms: bushy, creeping or climbing.
Shiny foliage, wine red in spring, dark green in summer and multicoloured in fall
Alternating leaves arranged in three folioles.
The central petiole is longer than the other two.
The edge of the leaves can be smooth or slightly jagged.
Its height ranges from 20 cm to nearly 1 m.
Contains a poisonous sap which causes inflammation of the skin, even in winter.

Symptoms related to ragweed allergy

Only allergic individuals experience symptoms. Each year, ragweed pollen affects 10% of the population in Quebec.
Allergic rhinitis (repetitive sneezing, nasal congestion, abundant clear nasal discharge, itching of the nose, throat and ears).
Conjunctivitis (red eyes, tearing, itchy eyes, swollen eyelids).
Allergic asthma (cough, breathlessness, wheezing).

Symptoms caused by poison ivy

Everyone can react to poison ivy.
Painful red skin inflammation.
Strong itching.
Formation of blisters on the affected parts.
To have an allergic reaction, the person must have been in contact with the poisonous sap.

How to eliminate ragweed?

The easiest and cheapest way is to manually uproot the plants. Uprooting the seedlings before the bloom (in early August) will stop the release of millions of pollen grains, thus preventing reproduction and invasion of lands.
Use mulch to prevent weeds from sprouting.
Improve soil quality (topsoil, fertilizer).

How to eliminate poison ivy?

Wearing gloves is necessary at all times when handling the plant and it is very important to avoid any contact with the skin.
It is possible to destroy the seedling by uprooting it and tilling the soil to eliminate the roots.
Pick up the dead plants and place them in garbage bags or bury them very deep in the soil.
Never burn the plant. Inhaling the smoke can cause severe pulmonary reaction.
