The Drinking Water Bureau issued the Drinking Water Advisories and Boil Water Advisories as noted in the table below. A Boil Water Advisory is issued when a water system violates the bacteria (or Total Coliform) standard and the presence of E. Coli or fecal coliform is detected. This requires immediate notice to all consumers informing them how to make their water safe for consumption. The Boil Water Advisory is lifted only when sampling indicates that the water system is back in compliance with the standards for Total Coliform Bacteria. For more information on coliform bacteria and health effects, view EPA's WEBSITE. A Drinking Water Advisory is issued when a non-microbiological drinking water standard, such as for Nitrate, is violated.
You can view a Fact Sheet on WHAT TO DO IF YOUR WATER SYSTEM HAS A BOIL WATER ADVISORY . Para información cuando hay un Aviso de Agua Hervida, CLICA AQUI. You can also view a Fact Sheet on WHAT TO DO IF YOUR DRINKING WATER HAS HIGH NITRATE. Si hay nitratos in el agua, CLICA AQUI.
If there is a "Yes" or a date in the Rescinded column, the advisory has been lifted and the water is considered safe for drinking. Click on the water system name to read the notice in PDF format.
