What do I do if the Town issues an boil water advisory notice?
Water should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute. Boiled water, bottled water, or water from another public supply not affected by the advisory, should be used for the following:
- For drinking or preparing beverages (including coffee)
- For making formula and baby food and for washing baby bottles
- For washing and preparing food to be eaten raw (fruit, vegetables, etc.)
- For preparing food that doesn’t require long cooking (canned soup, dessert, etc.)
- For making ice cubes
- For brushing your teeth or rinsing your mouth
Discard all ice cubes, food, and beverages, that were made with unboiled water after the boil water advisory was issued.
