It is imperative that water be boiled or disinfected until further notice. You may also choose to use an approved alternative water source. Water intended for drinking, washing fruits or vegetables, making beverages or ice, or brushing teeth must be boiled for one (1) minute. It is also important to note that the water should not be provided to infants or used to make up formula. An alternative source is recommended due to the elevated manganese levels.
Should someone other than the property owner occupy the residence (such as a tenant), please provide this information to them. If you have any questions, please contact the TNRD Utility Department at (250) 377-8673.
