What to do once a boil water advisory has been lifted?
Once a boil water advisory has been lifted, there are no special measures to take. The water remains safe to drink. However, the following precautions can be taken, as mentioned on the website of Urgence Québec :

• Open all cold water taps and let the water run for a few minutes before using it, to enable the complete emptying of all piping. Follow the same procedure for drinking fountains and drinking troughs;
• Empty, wash and disinfect ice machines;
• Flush out garden hoses and outdoor taps;
• If you have a home water treatment device, follow the manufacturer's recommendations. However, it is not necessary to drain a hot water tank.
