How we coped when water turned muddy
With the boil-water advisory still in effect in Vancouver, Burnaby and the North Shore, stores are being stormed by people looking for water treatment systems. But consumers need to look around to determine what's best for their health and their pocketbook.
The cheapest solution is boiling water, and that means a rolling boil for at least one minute, Vancouver Coastal Health's manager of health protection, Richard Taki, said in an interview.
