A water main rupture in Montreal’s Plateau-Mont-Royal has led to a boil-water advisory for residents.
City officials issued the precautionary notice following Tuesday’s break involving a 20-inch pipe on De Lorimier Avenue. Authorities have not provided a timeline for when the advisory will be lifted.

The break forced the closure of De Lorimier between Masson Street and Saint-Joseph Boulevard as crews worked to contain flooding and secure the area.
Municipal teams are carrying out emergency repairs, while the Montreal police (SPVM) is managing traffic around the closure.
The cause of the rupture has not been determined.
Residents in affected sectors are advised to bring tap water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before consuming it or using it for cooking, until further notice.
