Breaking News: Boil Water Notice Lifted

Water Resources Department Makes Announcement

Residents Can Resume Normal Water Usage

The boil water notice that was issued on August 8th, 2023, has been lifted, effective immediately. The Water Resources Department announced that the water is now safe to drink, cook with, and use for other purposes.

The boil water notice was issued after E. coli bacteria was detected in the water supply. The bacteria can cause serious health problems, such as diarrhea, vomiting, and cramps. The notice was issued as a precaution to protect the public's health.

The Water Resources Department has been working around the clock to test the water and to identify the source of the contamination. The source of the contamination has not yet been determined, but the department is continuing to investigate.

Residents are advised to flush their water lines by running cold water for at least five minutes before using it. This will help to clear any bacteria that may be present in the lines.

The Water Resources Department is urging residents to conserve water, as the drought conditions are continuing. Residents are asked to take shorter showers, water their lawns less frequently, and fix any leaks.
