CFPUA has rescinded the precautionary boil water advisory for the Willoughby Park community as of Friday, July 12. Water service in the area has returned to normal operation.
ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
CFPUA has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for the Willoughby Park community, effective immediately Thursday, July 11.
Approximately 300 CFPUA customers are impacted by the advisory, which includes all of Willoughby Park Road and Honeybee Lane. Crews are on site working to repair a leak in the water distribution system.
Periods of low or no pressure in the water distribution system increase the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.
When under a boil water advisory, customers are asked to boil their water for one minute, then allow it to cool prior to consumption. They also may use another water source such as bottled water.
Consumption includes drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, food preparation, fruit and vegetable washing, pet consumption, and the preparation of baby formula. Customers do NOT need to boil water prior to using it for showering or bathing.
Before a boil water advisory is lifted, CFPUA lab staff test the water to ensure it is safe to drink.
