The boil water advisory for Fort-Coulonge is still in effect.
The Pontiac announced the advisory on March 15th, stating that an electronic part in the water plant had broken, and that water coming through taps would be untreated.
myFM News can tell you that officials say they’ve received the part they need, and it’s been installed.
The water reservoirs will be washed out over the weekend and the Pontiac says testing on the water will begin Monday, with the boil water advisory hopefully being lifted by Wednesday.
Until then, residents of Fort-Coulonge must still boil tap water for drinking, preparing baby food, washing fruits and vegetables, making ice cubes, brushing teeth and water for your pets.
