Low water advisory issued for parts of Montreal's West Island
People living in certain areas of Montreal's West Island are being asked to reduce their water usage during the hot weather. The cities, towns and boroughs affected by the advisory include Dollard-des-Ormeaux (DDO), Pierrefonds-Roxboro, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue and Senneville. READ MORE: Sweltering heat starts the week in Greater Montreal This comes as the City of Montreal says it is seeing historically low levels in the Rivière des Prairies, thus taking longer for the Pierrefonds drinking water treatment plant to filter potable water to these areas. 'The drinking water treatment chain is in exceptionally high demand,' the city notes. 'However, the water produced continues to meet the highest quality standards.' Officials note that the cost of treating the water has also risen. For now, the city says it has paused its ozonation system, which neutralizes the taste of the water, to speed up the treatment process. This could result in the water tasting different, though officials say it is still safe to ingest. See a list of permitted and prohibited activities during a watering ban, according to the City of Montreal: Permitted uses Prohibited uses Watering plants and flowers in the garden or vegetable patch with a spray gun that closes when released Using an automatic or movable watering system (e.g., oscillating sprinklers, porous hoses) Watering a new landscaping project or a new residential lawn Watering an existing lawn Filling a new swimming pool Filling an existing pool Maintaining the water level in a swimming pool Washing a car Cleaning paved surfaces, patios and exterior walls Using an air conditioning system that runs on potable water Residents can resume using water as per usual when the ban is lifted.
