Boil Orders
At this time the following boil orders are in effect until further notice:
None - posted 6/18/10 12:00 P.M.General Information:
Boil orders are issued when there is an interruption in water flow due to a water main break, accidental cut, required maintenance or any time the water pressure drops below 20 p.s.i. When possible, a Group Cast call is made to those who signed up, alerting them of the boil order. Local media are also notified for those residents who are not on the call system.
A boil order means that residents in the affected area are advised to boil their water for five (5) minutes prior to drinking or cooking with it. This is a precautionary measure for residents’ protection.
Due to the required testing, the boil order remains in effect until further notice (24 hours minimum). When the results come back clear, another Group Cast call is made, lifting the boil order, and media is again notified.
