That seems crazy to me. Wouldn't it be better to pick an isolated area and put that on boil water advisory and then be able to flush that system independently once the issue is resolved? Something like Strathmore or Airdrie must be self-contained systems, and would be small enough that the amount of water required to flush them later would be way, way less.
Hopefully people stop watering their grass again, but I'm not optimistic. I think it might have been a good idea to wait another week or two (hold off until September) when I suspect water use naturally goes down anyway. Hopefully they have all the storage tanks 100% topped up because I doubt they'll get as much compliance the second time around.
