The City of Longueuil has lifted its preventative boil water advisory for the areas of Greenfield Park and Le Moyne, as well as the cities of Brossard and Saint-Lambert.

“The results of recent analyses carried out on the network are compliant with the norms,” the city noted. “You no longer need to boil water.”

The advisory was issued due to necessary work at the Le Royer drinking water treatment plant on Riverside Street in Saint-Lambert, including replacing valves and inspecting a main pipe.

“These interventions are essential to ensure the reliability of the network and secure the water supply for the cities and areas served by the Le Royer plant,” the city stated. “The City will also replace a flow metre to meet the requirements of the Quebec government’s drinking water conservation strategy, among other things.”

The work resulted in a boil water advisory being issued for Saturday, and lasting until Tuesday.
