Impact analysis
Boiling water takes time and energy, and households and businesses may buy bottled water, so expect small but real out-of-pocket costs until the notice lifts.
People who follow the notice get reduced risk of waterborne illness, and bottled-water sellers may see a short-term sales bump.
Everyone in West Melbourne has to boil or buy water, and restaurants, caregivers, and low-income households may feel the pinch most.
