“URGENT: Boil Water Advisory Issued for Sainte-Thérèse—Residents Urged to Take Precautions”

A boil-water advisory is in place for all residents of Sainte-Thérèse on Monday due to low water levels in the Mille Îles River, as confirmed by the city officials. The city states that the current water levels are insufficient to maintain the required chlorine levels in the drinking water distribution system, prompting the preventive measure.

This advisory is precautionary and not a result of any mechanical issues, with no specific end date provided. Residents are advised to boil their tap water vigorously for one minute before using it for drinking, preparing food, or oral hygiene. Unboiled tap water is suitable for activities such as washing dishes in hot water, laundry, and showering.
