January 9, 2024, 12:30 p.m. - A precautionary boil-water advisory is currently in effect on the municipal aqueduct system due to maintenance work.
All Chelsea residents served by the municipal water system must boil their water for at least one minute before consuming it until the advisory is lifted.
Please note that during this period, you may experience cloudy water and a slight chlorine smell.
As soon as the situation is restored, an email will be sent, in addition to messages on the various municipal platforms, to warn citizens.
Boiled or bottled water should be used to prepare formula, bottles and baby food, wash vegetables and fruit that will be eaten raw, prepare beverages (including coffee), wash dishes, and brush teeth and rinse mouths. Please discard all food, including ice, prepared with tap water after the date and time of this advisory. It is also recommended that you give your pets previously boiled and cooled water.
A preventive boil water advisory is a notice that the Municipality issues when there is a risk of contamination. In fact, when the system requires maintenance or when a breakdown occurs, the water is not necessarily contaminated. However, the water must undergo a certain test protocol to validate that it has not been in contact with contaminants. Therefore, for your safety, it is recommended to apply the boiling protocols while waiting for the confirmation that the water is potable.
