The city of Gatineau issued a boil water advisory Friday for about 9,700 homes in the Buckingham and Masson-Angers areas, which is expected to last at least 48 hours.

During this period, residents should boil their water for one minute before consuming it. The boil water advisory is only for water that will be consumed or used for brushing teeth.

In 48 hours, the city will receive the test results of the water and will inform the public whether the advisory can be lifted.

It does not affect water used for baths, showers, dishes and laundry.

Officials warn that, if residents find that their tap water is discoloured to let the water run until it becomes clear again.

Once the advisory has been lifted, residents should open all cold water taps and let the water run for one minute or until the water runs cold before using it. The same should be done for water fountains and residents should throw away any ice that was made while the boil water advisory was in effect.
