Preventive Boil Water Advisory in a Portion of the Hull Sector

Gatineau, September 17, 2025 – Ville de Gatineau has issued a preventive boil water advisory for a portion of the Hull sector. The affected area includes both sides of Laurier Street, between City Hall Street and Sacré-Coeur Boulevard, as well as the Jos Montferrand building (170, rue de l'Hôtel-de-Ville).

This advisory, which will remain in effect until it is lifted, was issued due to a water main break that occurred in front of the Maison du Citoyen (25, rue Laurier) on September 16, 2025. The necessary repairs have been completed. Water service is being restored gradually.
