CKNW website says that there is too much rain and the dirt has gotten into the water. So your tap water may have turbidity. Remember the last time this happened. Stores were cleaned out and people were panicking. Do it now before the panic. NOW NOW NOW!!!

...I already have, Charles Mark, already have.

Converted a number of years ago when the water got really dirty.

Since then, never looked back.

Plus the water in the place I stayed at tasted terrible, so I switched to bottled water for drinking.

Bought myself a water cooler for $90 from Home Hardware.

Sewage, colliforms, viruses can be present in tap water, no matter how well they try to purify it.

Its funny that they have a solution for it, but it wont come into effect until 2015-2020.

I dont know why we pay taxes for, I thought that drinking water would have enough importance as an issue.

We boil our water. We never drink water of the tap before boiling them. We boil them and then pour it in water jar.

For real? Do you live in Vancouver itself?

Way too much work, and also boiled water has a horrid "flat" taste to it....

You boil water for coffee and tea. Boil water for water same difference. Not really a lot of work people so lazy these days. Our electrical bill under $50 each month. I don't know what's up with this house. Our old house electric bill was like over $80 every month. I don't know why people have to buy water.

First things first - so i can tailor my reply to your intelligence levels (something i'm having to do a lot on here recently).

Do you know what Silt is? Do you know how it gets in the water? And do you know why it sometimes appears in our water here in vancouver?

But the short answer is : Animal crp.

They'll issue a boil water advisory if the bacteria count gets too high.

i'm originally from alberta where we either got our water directly from a well or from a treatment plant near a river. at what point does vancouver silt enter the water system?... before or after the plant? i'm assuming before, in which case, all the chlorine and crap should technically render the animal crap bacteria harmless.
