This does not mean that the water is unsafe, it just means that the possibility is there. We will notify our customers by several different methods.

  • In some cases by telephone.
  * After repairs have been made, the lines are flushed and a chlorine sample is taken and bacteriological samples are taken of the affected area and delivered to the testing laboratory contracted by the district. Tests are then ran according to strict government and state regulations.
