CBC
The city of Longueuil has lifted its boil-water advisory for the boroughs of Vieux-Longueuil and Saint-Hubert after E. coli bacteria was detected in its water system.
However, the advisory is still in place in the municipalities of Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville and Boucherville.
"The results of recent analyses carried out on the Longueuil water network are in order. Longueuil residents affected by the advisory no longer need to boil their water before drinking it," the city said in a news release.
The city said an analysis of samples from the water plants serving Boucherville and Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville are underway. In those areas, water should still be heated to a rolling boil for a full minute in order to be safe to drink, wash food, give to pets or brush teeth.

The leader of Canada's Green Party had some strong words for Nova Scotia's Progressive Conservatives while joining her provincial counterpart on the campaign trail. Elizabeth May was in Halifax Saturday to support the Nova Scotia Green Party in the final days of the provincial election campaign. She criticized PC Leader Tim Houston for calling a snap election this fall after the Tories passed legislation in 2021 that gave Nova Scotia fixed election dates every four years.
