Impact analysis
You may need to spend extra on bottled water or spend time boiling water, and restaurants and other water-dependent businesses could take a short-term hit.
Bottled-water sellers may get a temporary sales bump, but the real benefit is for anyone who avoids getting sick by following the advisory.
People who can’t easily boil water—like some low-income households, older residents, or people without reliable utilities—and restaurants and businesses that depend on tap water can be hit hardest.
