Some residents on the West Island are being asked to reduce their water usage during current heat wave.
Communities affected by the advisory include Dollard-des-Ormeaux (DDO), Pierrefonds-Roxboro, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue and Senneville.
The City of Montreal says it is seeing historically low water levels.
As a result, it is taking longer for the Pierrefonds drinking water treatment plant to filter potable water to these areas.
For now, Pierrefonds says it has paused its ozonation system, which neutralizes the taste of the water, to speed up the treatment process.
This could result in the water tasting different, though officials say it is still safe to drink.
