Consolidated Water customers along Route N between E High Point Ln and E Bluebird Ln, and also along E High Point Ln between S Eagle Rd and Rt N including S Eagle Rd, S Turtle Creek Ln, E Rock Bridge Ln, and E Pierpont Meadows Rd.

Precautionary Boil Water Advisory

Customers in the affected area may need to take the following precautions:

1. Boil water vigorously for three minutes prior to use. Use only boiled water for drinking, brushing teeth, diluting fruit juices and all other food preparations or consumption.
2. Do not use ice from a household automatic icemaker or use any ice made with unboiled water from this system. Remake ice cubes with water that has been boiled or buy ice.
3. Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.
4. Let water cool sufficiently before drinking. Water used for hand-washing or bathing does not generally need to be boiled. Supervision of children is necessary while bathing or using backyard pools so water is not ingested. Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians. People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly may be at increased risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
