Boil water advisory scheduled for Tuesday for approximately
300 residents of Sawmill Point Condominiums
A utility contractor will be tying in to an existing water main (for future service) on Tuesday, July 2. This may result in periods of low water pressure or outages for about 300 customers at Sawmill Point Condominiums.
As a precaution, a boil water advisory is being issued starting at 9:00 a.m.
CFPUA will issue notifications when the advisory is lifted.
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. Alternatively, they 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.
