Thousand of Gatineau residents are being told to boil their water.
This after authorities say the main reservoir malfunctioned, causing water service to be cut to parts of the city and pressure to drop in other areas.
The affected area is between Lorraine Boulevard and Gatineau Avenue and from Valiquette Road to Saint Rene West Boulevard.
Water coming from taps may be discoloured and residents are being told to run the water until it is clear and then boil it.
Any ice made with the water should also be thrown out.
The Ville de Gatineau will advise residents when the water is safe to drink again.
