Welsh Water is continuing to advise 70,000 customers in north Wales to boil their water after bacteria were found at a treatment works.
The advice was first issued on Tuesday in parts of Flintshire and Denbighshire and later extended to an area of Conwy.
Welsh Water said there was still no evidence that anyone had fallen ill as a result of drinking the water.
Operations director Peter Perry said compensation would be considered for the disruption.
The bacteria, coliform, were discovered at the works on Denbigh Moors on Tuesday night and an operation put into place immediately to inform people living in the areas affected to boil their water.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused to our customers and assure them that we are doing all we can to resolve this issue as quickly as possible Peter Perry, Welsh Water
Welsh Water said there was still no evidence that anyone had fallen ill as a result of drinking the water.
In the company's latest update on Friday morning, operations director Peter Perry said: "Whilst the precautionary boil notice remains in place, we will continue sending vehicles with loud hailers around the patch to keep people aware of the situation.
"We will consider compensation for the disruption this is causing, but we are first and foremost concentrating on resolving the issue as a priority.
"Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience caused to our customers and assure them that we are doing all we can to resolve this issue as quickly as possible, so that the boil water notice can be removed."
Hundreds of advisory posters have been delivered to supermarkets and libraries, and information packs had also been delivered to schools.
Mr Perry said customers who were unsure as to whether the boil notice affected them could call a 24-hour helpline on 0800 052 0130 or consult Welsh Water's website.
