Water Main Rinsing 2026

From April 14 to July 30, 2026, we will be conducting the annual rinsing of the water main system, an essential operation to maintain the quality of your drinking water. The work will take place at night, from Sunday to Friday, between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., and is carried out by a contractor hired by the City, whose vehicles are clearly marked for easy identification.

A notice will be posted on your door a few days before the work begins.  Please note that this notice may be delivered during the day or at night.

Please also note that you may be affected by the rinsing of nearby streets aqueducts, even if no notice was posted on your door.

What to do during the rinsing?

• Avoid washing clothes and dishes during rinsing hours.
• If you notice that the water is cloudy or colored, let the cold water run until it runs clear.
• If water stains appear on your clothing, the City offers an effective cleaning product, available at City Hall (451 Saint-Jean Boulevard).
