"The entire city of Winnipeg was under a precautionary boil water advisory Tuesday night after testing showed the presence of E. coli in the water supply.
The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority issued the water advisory just before 5:30 p.m. The advisory was initially for Winnipeg east of the Red River but city officials widened it to cover all of Winnipeg just before 6 p.m."
Could happen anywhere,,in Ontario a while back some people died from E. coli in city water..
Their advice of boiling water for one minute seems bit short,though,I think at least 10 minutes would be needed to kill any bacteria
