A preventative boil water advisory has been issued for Côte d’Azur in Gatineau.

The advisory was issued Saturday for every property contained in the area below, including near Rue le Gallois, Avenue Gatineau, Boulevard la Verendrye Ouest and Rue de Cannes.

During this period, the City of Gatineau advises people to boil their water one minute before consuming it.

If the tap water is discoloured, open the cold water tap and let the water run until it becomes clear.

The advisory only concerns water that is consumed for drinking or used for brushing teeth. The water can safely be used for baths, showers, laundry and dishes, said the city.
