Longueuil, Que., has lifted a boil-water advisory that was issued on Wednesday for a portion of the Saint-Hubert borough as well as for the municipality of Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville.

Water no longer needs to be boiled before consumption, the city announced on Friday afternoon.

The advisory was necessary due to a drop in water pressure caused by work on the drinking water network.

Throughout the boil-water advisory, water samples taken were found to be compliant, the city says on its website.
