Dr. Scott Giffen is the District Medical Officer of Health and says if you feel there is no need to boil your water, you might as well go to the edge of the resevoir and dunk a glass in.
Dr. Giffen adds you have to remember, animals are defacating in that water as well which means you could be exposed to a variety of bacteria's and contaminants.
