The City of Chambly has issued a boil water advisory until further notice following a water main break.
The order, which was issued Monday morning, asks residents to boil their tap water for at least one minute before consuming. This also applies to water used to prepare raw food and make ice.
Authorities say any ice, drinks or food prepared with tap water after 10:45 a.m. Monday should be discarded.
