Reasons for the Boil Water Notice

The boil water notice is in effect due to a significant water main break on Main Street. This break has compromised the integrity of the water distribution system, potentially introducing harmful contaminants into the water supply.

Potential Health Risks: Consuming unboiled water during a boil water advisory can lead to serious illnesses, including gastrointestinal infections (like diarrhea and vomiting), and other waterborne diseases.

• Water Treatment Compromise: The water main break disrupted the usual water treatment processes, reducing the effectiveness of disinfection and filtration.
• Potential Contaminants: Potential contaminants include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause illness.
• Safety First: Strict adherence to the boil water advisory is critical to safeguarding your health and the health of your family.

How to Safely Boil Water

Boiling water effectively kills harmful bacteria and viruses. Follow these steps meticulously:

1. Bring water to a rolling boil: Place water in a clean pot and heat it vigorously until it boils. A rolling boil is characterized by continuous bubbling.
2. Boil for one minute: Once boiling, continue boiling for at least one full minute to ensure the water is safe.
3. Cool and store: Allow the water to cool completely before storing it in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator. Boiled water should be stored in a clean container to prevent recontamination.

• Boiling for Drinking and Cooking: Use only boiled water for drinking, preparing food, and making ice.
• Boiling for Hygiene: Boil water to use for brushing your teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, and any other use where uncontaminated water is necessary.
