Hi and thanks for the explanation.
I don't get why a pressure drop should entail a boil water notice ?

A "water main" is a big pipe connection in the system. A break in a main could introduce contamination to the system.

The Opposition immediately ramped up a national campaign against the increased regulations with warnings about increased costs.
Conservative MP Stephen Ellis, the health critic in Pierre 's shadow cabinet, called the move unnecessary "gate-keeping"
