CWSD No. 1 has issued a precautionary boil advisory for customers along the 2000 block of Highpoint Place in the Forest Hills Subdivision in Haughton.
A water main was isolated at this location to complete a repair, affecting approximately 12 customer connections. Service will be restored once the repair is complete later today. Because of the loss of pressure during the repair, the water may be contaminated, so customers in the affected area should take precautions until the advisory is lifted.
What affected customers should do:
Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute, then let it cool before using.
Use boiled water, or bottled water, for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, and washing fruits and vegetables.
Use boiled or bottled water for preparing baby formula and for pet drinking water.
Discard any ice made and any beverages or food prepared with tap water during the affected period.
Water used for bathing and laundry does not need to be boiled, though children and others who might swallow water should be supervised.
The district will collect a water sample for testing on Monday, November 16. The boil advisory will remain in effect until the test results show the water is safe to drink. Customers will be informed when the advisory is lifted.
