From 05/20/2025 to 09/20/2025
- Hours: Between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday to Thursday.
• Area affected: Lachine West, south of Rue Victoria and between 52e Avenue and 56e Avenue.
• Reason: Water system flushing work.
If your tap water is coloured, see below for what to do before consuming any. 
This situation can occur at different times and is normally of short duration.

Tips

● Turn on your cold water tap. At home, it is advisable to use the bath tub tap if you have one, otherwise use the kitchen sink tap. If your property (a business, for example) has neither, use the one you have available. 
● If your tap is equipped with an aerator, unscrew the nozzle to remove it. 
● Let the cold water run for a few minutes until it becomes clear again. Your tap water can then be consumed.
● Make sure that your water is clear before doing any laundry or using any other appliance that uses water.
