The forecast called for 10 to 15 millimetres during the day and another 10 to 15 mm in the evening.
The advisory is still in effect for Vancouver, Burnaby and the North Shore, affecting about one million people.
Thousands of residents in Port Alberni, Parksville and Chemainus on Vancouver Island are also living with boil-water advisories.
Affected residents are advised to use bottled water or boil tap water for a full minute before drinking, brushing teeth or washing food. Water should be boiled and allowed to cool before being put in another container or refrigerated.
