[ARCHIVED] Boil water advisory starts Tuesday, Oct. 1 for customers on Putnam Dr and Savanna Run Loop

Running faucet

A boil water advisory affecting about 160 customers will begin at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday for customers in the following area:

  • 342-459 Putnam Drive
  • all customers on Savanna Run Loop
  • all customers on Riviera Place

This advisory is issued as a precautionary measure while a utility contractor ties into an existing water main for future service.

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
