Reasons for the Boil Water Advisory

The Boil Water Advisory is a precautionary measure due to a water main break that occurred earlier today on Main Street. This incident resulted in a significant loss of water pressure, increasing the risk of potential contamination. While no specific contaminants have yet been identified, the loss of pressure necessitates this advisory to ensure public safety. We are conducting thorough water quality testing to determine the extent of any contamination.

• Type of Contamination: While testing is ongoing, the primary concern is the potential introduction of harmful bacteria due to the loss of pressure. Turbidity (cloudiness) is also being monitored.
• Detection Process: Our water treatment plant is conducting bacteriological testing following standard procedures to identify any contaminants. This includes testing for coliform bacteria and other indicators.
• Ongoing Investigations and Repairs: Crews are working around the clock to repair the water main break. The repair is anticipated to be completed by [Date/Time]. Following the repair, the water system will be flushed, and further testing will be conducted before the advisory can be lifted.

How to Safely Boil Water

To ensure your safety, it's crucial to boil all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, and preparing baby food until further notice.

• Boiling Instructions: Bring water to a rolling boil for one full minute. This will kill most harmful bacteria.
• Cooling and Storage: Let the boiled water cool completely before using. Store boiled water in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator.
• Duration: Continue boiling your water until the Boil Water Advisory is lifted.

Alternative Water Sources and Support

Currently, no alternative water sources (such as water distribution centers) are available. We are monitoring the situation closely and will establish distribution centers if needed.
