A water main break in Lachine has snarled morning traffic along major arteries in the western end of Montreal.

A water main break has triggered a boil-water notice for several streets in the city.

“All water destined for drinking, ... washing fruits and vegetables, cooking, brushing teeth ... is held at a rolling boil for at least one minute.”

The break occurred Friday near the intersection of Cobequid Road and Glendale.

Sunday's efforts began at 7 a.m. and are meant to complete the work that was being carried out on Friday and Saturday near the intersection of Cobequid Road and Glendale Drive. 

More boil water advisories have been lifted in Wood Buffalo after spring flooding and high river levels in the area led to water flowing the wrong way down an overflow pipe, mixing river and drinking water.

Manitoba Health has issued boil water advisories for a number of communities that use the Red River Regional Water Treatment Plant.

West Kelowna and the Interior Health Authority have elevated the water quality advisory in the Sunnyside/Pritchard System to a boil water notice.

The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo said Friday that it now believes the timeline for ending its boil water advisory will be shorter than first thought.

Councillors passed several motions as well as what they called the 2020 Flood Recovery Bylaw on Wednesday in an attempt to help Fort McMurray residents recover from the recent flooding disaster.
