DRINKING WATER WARNING
Boil your water before using.
Hiervan el Agua Antes de Usarla
What does this mean? What should I do?
Do not drink the water
without boiling it first. Bring all
water to a boil. Let it boil for three
(3) minutes, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or
bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice brushing teeth, washing
dishes, and food preparation.
Dispose of ice cubes and
do not use ice from an automatic icemaker.
Remake ice cubes with water that has been boiled, or purchase bagged ice
from an area not under advisory. Flush the icemaker water line after the
advisory has been lifted.
While no contamination has
been detected, the inability to maintain pressure in the distribution system
may allow disease causing organisms to enter the water system. These organisms include bacteria, viruses,
and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps diarrhea, and
associated headaches. The symptoms above
are not caused only by organisms found in drinking water. If you experience any of these symptoms and
they persist, you may want to seek medical advice.
These precautions should
be taken into account for household pets.
Do not let household pets consume water without boiling and cooling the
water first
