Full Notification

At about 10:00 PM last night a major water leak occurred in the City of Nederland. By about 4:00 AM city crews were able to repair the leak, and are now in the process of replenishing the cities water supply. However due to the nature and magnitude of the leak the city has issued a "Boil Water Notice." Citizens will be advised when the boil notice has been lifted. See Below

Due to a loss of system pressure as a result of a major water line break, the City of Nederland (PWS 1230006) advises customers of the need to boil their water prior to consumption. To ensure the destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and making ice should be boiled and cooled prior to use. The water should be brought to a vigorous, rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes. In lieu of boiling, you may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source. When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the City will provide notice that the water is safe for consumption. Instructions to discontinue boiling will be issued in the same manner as this notice.
