The locations of the residences affected are: south of Allumetières Boulevard; west of Atholl-Doune Street; north of Rivière des Outaouais; and east of de la Lobo Street.
The city said in a news release the advisory would be in effect until further notice.
Residents required to boil their water were instructed to boil it for one minute before consuming it. After the advisory is lifted, they were told to open all taps and let the water run for a minute or until it is cold, do the same for any water fountains, and get rid of any ice made with tap water while the advisory was in place.
