The Town of Sutton wishes to inform residents of the area concerned that, due to the work to be carried out on Principale Sud Street, the water supply will be shut off on August 15, 2023, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

AREA CONCERNED: Principale Sud Street, between civic numbers 40 and 260, as well as Oak and Church streets.

Drinking water service will be restored as soon as the work is completed. However, due to the interruption in service, a precautionary drinking water advisory will be issued on the same day, August 15, 2023, for a minimum of 96 hours, or until further notice.

Water consumption guidelines:

Concerned citizens should boil their tap water thoroughly for at least 1 minute for the following uses, or use bottled water.

Before consuming tap water, you must boil it for at least one minute for the following uses until notified otherwise (or use bottled water):

  • When drinking and preparing beverages;

You may use tap water for:
