750,000 people do not have safe, clean drinking water after the city of Montreal issued a boil water advisory.
The water everywhere in Montreal south of Highway 40, from LaSalle to Pointe aux Trembles, is not safe to drink.
Water throughout the borough of Anjou, while north of the Metropolitan, is also unsafe, as is water in the towns of Mount Royal, Hampstead, Westmount, Cote Saint Luc, Montreal East, and the off-island town of Charlemagne. Montreal West is not specifically mentioned, but it does fall in the geographic area affected.
The city is advising everyone affected to boil their water for 60 seconds before consuming, using it for brushing teeth, or for cooking or washing food.
Officials say any water that has been stored since last night, either in pitchers, used in ice cubes, or something similar should be thrown out.
Non-boiled water can be safely used for washing clothes or for bathing.
The widespread notice comes after a failed test result at the Atwater filtration plant.
The city has no idea how long the boil water advisory will last.
