Recommendations

Before the Water Closure

• Fill clean containers with enough water to meet your essential needs, with at least 2 litres per person per day (drinking, cooking, washing).
• Fill your bathtub or prepare buckets of water to manually flush your toilet during the interruption.

During the Water Closure

• Avoid using appliances that require water, such as dishwashers and washing machines.
• Turn off water supply lines to refrigerators with water dispensers and ice makers.
• Ensure all taps are closed to prevent splashing or flooding once water is restored.

During a boil water advisory 

• Boil water for at least one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, washing fruits and vegetables, or preparing baby formula.
• Alternatively, you may use bottled water for these purposes.
• Unboiled tap water may be used for bathing or showering but avoid swallowing the water.
• Continue to follow precautions until you receive a paper notice stating the advisory has been lifted.
