There are no boil alerts for customers at this time.

Boil advisories are issued only if sample result is positive after a depressurization in our main line. There may be planned events when system improvements are made, main breaks, or accidents such a contractor digging into our line. Once the line is repaired and pressure is restored, we will flush the line and perform a bacteriological analysis. The process requires 24 hours to complete. If bacteriological contamination is found, you will be advised to boil for 24 hours or until a negative bacteriological result is received.

During a boil advisory. . .

Do not consume tap water that has not been disinfected including ice made from tap water or raw foods rinsed with tap water.
Disinfect water by maintaining a rolling boil for one minute.
Safe alternative sources of potable water include bottled or distilled water.

Upon removal of a boil advisory. . .

Flush household faucets by running cold water for three minutes each if they have not been used in the last 24 hours.
Flush home automatic icemakers by discarding the first three batches of ice.
