Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : boil water advisories.: En4-144/54-2022E-PDF

"Drinking water advisories are public health protection messages about real or potential health risks related to drinking water. These advisories are generally precautionary, meaning they are typically issued before drinking water quality problems occur. The advisories can take 3 forms: Do not consume, Do not use and Boil water. Boil water advisories are by far the most common, representing about 98% of the drinking water advisory data each year. Therefore, this analysis looks only at this type of advisory. There are 2 indicators for boil water advisories: the first provides a general overview of why boil water advisories are issued in Canada. The second shows the relationship between community size and the frequency of boil water advisories"--Page 5.
