Under the precautionary boil water notice, all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes should be boiled before use. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. As an alternative, bottled water may be used.
The notice will remain in effect until lab tests show the water is safe to drink and a retraction notice is posted, which typically takes at least two days. A notice will be sent out when the order is lifted.
