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 brought to a rolling boil for at least one (1) minute.
Please keep in mind that boiling water will not lower the manganese levels and this water should not be used for preparing baby formula for infants and food or drinks for young children. Showering and bathing with this water is safe.
Should someone other than the property owner occupy the residence, such as a tenant, please provide this information to them. For specific questions, please contact the TNRD toll free at 1-877-377-8673.
