Water Restored and Boil Order

Water has been restored to North Grove St.  A Boil Order is in effect until further notice for the following residences: 206 N Grove St, 211 N Grove St, and 217 N Grove St. We apologize for the inconvenience and recommend that you get some bottled water if able.  A reminder that you should bring the water to a rolling boil and leave it there for at least a minute (you can boil it longer if you feel that is safer). Let the water cool completely before using.  Use boiled water for cooking, drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making ice, making baby formula, and brushing teeth. During a boil order, you can use the water to shower or bathe, but don't swallow any of the water.  You can wash dishes in your dishwasher as long as it has a sanitary cycle that reaches at least 150 degrees. If you hand wash, wash the dishes in warm soapy water and then soak them for at least one minute in a separate basin of warm water mixed with one teaspoon of unscented bleach per gallon.  Let the dishes air dry completely.  We will update you when the boil order is lifted.

Instructions:

We will notify you when the Boil Order is lifted.
