Gatineau residents east of the Gatineau river are being told to boil their tap water before using it.
The city has issued a preventive boil water advisory for the Gatineau sector after a watermain break Thursday.
Residents must boil their water for one minute before consuming it.
The water is safe for residents to use for showers, laundry and dish-washing.
There is no word on when the boil water advisory will be lifted.
