A boil water advisory has ended for nearly 10,000 people in Abbotsford, B.C., after E. coli bacteria was detected in a private provider’s water system on Thursday.

The Clearbrook Waterworks District — which serves a two-square-kilometre area in west Abbotsford, according to its website — issued the boil water advisory on Friday after its water distribution system was breached at the reservoir.

It had asked its customers to only consume their water after it has been brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute.

The utility is now asking customers to run their cold water faucets, drinking fountains and garden hoses for one minute before using them, after extensive sampling from the Fraser Health authority showed that there were no signs of contamination.

“Drain and refill hot water heaters set below 45 C (normal setting is 60 C),” the advisory reads.
