The province issued the boil water order for Rockyford just after 9:30 p.m. on Monday, explaining the issue was caused by the distribution system being without pressure for “an extended period of time.”
“Boil water, bring water to a rapid rolling boil for one minute prior to use,” the advisory said.
Water was shut off through the night for repair work.
