The city of Gatineau has lifted the boil water advisory that was imposed earlier this week after a water main break on Alexandre-Taché Boulevard.
In a media release Thursday, the city said analyses and tests confirm that the water is safe to consume.
Affected residents should open all taps and let the water run for one minute or until it runs cold before using it.
This also applies to water fountains, and any ice made from tap water during the advisory should be discarded.
Gatineau Mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin said in a radio interview Tuesday evening the city should have the roadway repaired by Friday at the latest.
The mayor said the break was another warning that Gatineau, like most municipalities in Canada, needs “urgent” action to make up for “40 years of neglect to infrastructure (in Gatineau and) Quebec and Canada.
“(Infrastructure systems need about) $1.3 billion of catch-up, just for Gatineau.
This is not just theory.
These are broken and aging infrastructures,” the mayor said.
The mayor said there was no construction at the site that might have caused the break, and that pipeworks in the area are “not particularly old.”
