Some Quebec City residents will have to restrict their water consumption for at least 10 days as crews scramble to repair a major water supply pipe break.

On June 21, the city announced that a major drinking water supply pipe had broken near Rue de Chamerolles in the Les Rivières borough. Mayor Bruno Marchand told reporters at a news conference on Tuesday that about 35 per cent of Quebec residents must conserve water while crew workers pinpoint the source of the break.

Residents are prohibited from using household water for outdoor activities, such as watering the lawn, washing vehicles and filling pools.{ai:summary}<p>Water supply pipe break forces Quebec City residents to conserve water for 10 days.
