Description
PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER NOTICE
Due to a 2” water main break at the corner of E. Ohio Ave & Perry Lane on Monday,
March 3, 2025, at around 10:00 AM, a loss of water pressure was experienced to
approximately Four (4) homes within the distribution system.
As a precaution until tests can be completed, we advise that all water used for drinking,
cooking, making ice, washing dishes, or brushing teeth be boiled. A rolling boil of one
minute is sufficient. As an alternative, BOTTLED WATER MAY BE USED.
In the event there is a loss of power, and you cannot boil water, tap water can be
disinfected by adding 8 drops (or about 1/8th teaspoon) of unscented household bleach (4-
6% active ingredients) to each gallon of water, then mixing the water and allowing it to
stand for a minimum of 30 minutes. If the water is cloudy, use 16 drops of bleach and a
30-minute contact time.
This “Precautionary Boil Water Notice” will remain in effect until a bacterio-logical
survey shows that the water is safe to drink, at which point the boil water notice will be
rescinded.
