Gatineau, June 21, 2026. – Ville de Gatineau informs residents that the preventive boil water advisory in effect since June 19 for a portion of the Gatineau sector has been lifted.

Quick Facts

• Periods of low pressure may still occur during peak demand hours.
  – Residents in the Gatineau, Hull, and Aylmer sectors are therefore still asked to reduce their water consumption, particularly during morning and evening peak periods.

  – The detour remains in effect via Boulevard de la Cité and Boulevard Maloney.
