A boil-water advisory issued last week for parts of Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce has been lifted.

The City of Montreal said in a news release on Thursday that water samples revealed the water quality is now safe and that it is no longer required to boil water in the area before consuming it.

The advisory had been issued on Oct. 7 after a drop in water pressure.

The city says residents should still let all of their cold water taps, including outdoor taps, run for a few minutes before using them, and to disinfect coffee and ice machines. Water filters should also be changed.

It is not necessary to empty hot water tanks, according to the city.
