Boil Order extended in Rivière-Verte Sector

Jun 18, 2025

The boil water advisory issued by the Ministry of Health for the Rivière-Verte sector on June 12, is extended until FRIDAY JUNE 27, due to important work on the drinking water reservoir.

It is essential that all water intended for human consumption, including preparing infant formula and juice, making ice cubes, washing fruits and vegetables, and dental hygiene, be kept at a rolling boil for one minute. It is not necessary to boil water used for other domestic purposes, but we ask that you reduce your drinking water consumption during this work. Please reduce your water usage while filling the drinking water tank. During this filling, there may be a drop in water pressure, which is completely normal.

We will notify you when this advisory is lifted when water consumption is deemed safe. An update on the progress of the work will be shared early next week.

The City of Edmundston apologizes for any inconvenience and thanks you for your understanding.
