Update: Boil water advisory remains in effect at JGH until the hospital notifies staff otherwise
***PLEASE PRINT THIS MEMO AND POST IT IN YOUR UNIT/DEPARTMENT***

In the event that the boil water advisory is lifted this evening by the City of Montreal, the water at the JGH must still NOT be used until further notice from the JGH Emergency measures and pandemic planning coordinator.

Once the all clear is given by the City, the water system at the hospital will still need to be flushed as it has been idle since Wednesday.

Until such a flush is performed, the boil water advisory remains in effect at the JGH until the hospital notifies staff otherwise.

We will continue to keep staff informed of all developments in this situation.

Any questions or concerns can be directed to Neil Michaels, JGH Emergency measures and pandemic planning coordinator on Lotus Notes or at local 8561.

Boil water advisory for the City of Montreal
PLEASE PRINT THIS AND POST IN YOUR DEPARTMENT/UNIT

The City of Montreal has issued a boil water advisory for much of its territory, including all communities south of the Metropolitain.

Until further notice, do not drink the tap water, including filtered tap water, and use only bottled water for drinking, washing food and for dental hygiene.

This advisory remains in effect until further notice.

The JGH is working on internal solutions that will be communicated hospital wide as soon as possible.
