VAUDREUIL – The Town of Vaudreuil-Dorion has issued a boil water notice until further notice after an electrical issue caused a water service interruption.
The notice took effect on Monday and was revised Tuesday to include two more streets.
All residents of the Vaudreuil area and certain sections of Dorion must boil tap water for at least one minute before consumption.

Water must be boiled for one minute before using it to:
- Drink and prepare beverages;
- Prepare bottles and baby food;
- Wash and prepare raw food (fruits, vegetables);
- Prepare food which does not require prolonged cooking (can of soup, desserts);
