BOIL WATER ADVISORY
- Hierva su agua antes de usaria –
This boil water advisory is not in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Esta alerta de hervir el agua no es en respuesta a la pandemia de COVID-19. -
Due to Loss of 20 psi pressure.
We routinely monitor the conditions in the drinking water distribution system. On 12/16-24 we
experienced a drop in water pressure below 20 psi/loss of pressure due to a service line repair.
A drop in/loss of water pressure creates conditions that could allow contamination to enter the
distribution system through backflow, by backpressure, or back-siphonage. As a result, there is
an increased chance that the drinking water may contain disease-causing organisms.
What should I do?
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil. Let it boil
for one minute and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should
be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until
further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
You may continue to use your water to wash your hands using soap and water for at least 20
seconds. (Puede seguir utilizando el agua para lavarse las manos usando jabón y agua por lo
menos 20 segundos.)
Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms include
bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can cause nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated
headaches.
The symptoms above are caused by many types of organisms. If you experience any of these
symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice. People at increased risk
should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
What is being done?
We repaired a service line to a customer and are preventatively making sure the water is still
safe.
We will inform you when you no longer need to boil your water. We anticipate resolving the
problem within 2-7 days.

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those
who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing
homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or
distributing copies by hand or mail.
