Preventive boil-water advisory for the entire network

The Municipality of Chelsea wishes to inform the population that a precautionary boil water advisory is in effect for the entire water network due to a significant drop in the water level. Residents affected by this advisory must bring their water to a rolling boil at least one minute before consumption, until the advisory is lifted. There may also be a significant drop in water levels, which should return to normal within a short period.

Water previously boiled for one minute, or bottled water, must be used for the following purposes:

• Drinking and preparing beverages;
• Preparing baby bottles and baby food;
• Washing and preparing foods eaten raw (fruits, vegetables, etc.);
• Preparing foods that do not require prolonged cooking (canned soups, desserts, etc.);
• Making ice cubes;
• Brushing teeth and rinsing mouth.

You can use unboiled tap water for :

• Wash dishes in hot water, making sure to dry them thoroughly;
• Wash clothes and take a shower or bath. For young children, make sure they don't ingest water while bathing, or wash them with a washcloth.

Our team is currently working to resolve the situation. A notice will be issued when the boil advisory is lifted.
