WINNIPEG — The city says it knows it can’t reach everyone to let them know about the boil water advisory.
“There are still pockets of people that likely haven’t heard this,” said Randy Hull, the city’s emergency preparedness co-ordinator.
On top of using Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, the city hopes word of mouth will reach everyone eventually.

“Neighbours have to help neighbours,” Hull said.
School divisions around the city also did what they could to let parents know classes are on, but students should bring boiled water to class.
“Through our websites, Twitter and Facebook, and we have capacity to send emails and will send an update email to parents,” said Brian O’Leary, the superintendent of the Seven Oaks School Division. “Some divisions have phone notification systems and engaged that.”
O’Leary believes around 90 per cent of parents in his division were reached.
“It’s starting to become a standard way of notifying people.”
