UPDATE: Boil Water on Ferguson Road LIFTED
Update as of March 6, 1;08 p.m.: This Boil Water Notice has been lifted. No contamination was detected.
================
As a result of loss of pressure on a water main during repair of a leak, a Boil Water Notice has been issued for water customers on Ferguson Road east of Harris Street. The earliest that laboratory testing can be completed and the notice lifted is Sunday, March 6.
Boil Water Notices are issued out of an abundance of caution because positive pressure has been lost and the possibility of contamination exists, not because contamination has been detected. The presence or absence of contamination must be confirmed by an independent lab through a testing process that requires at least 24 hours after delivery of a sample. Samples cannot be taken until the leak has been repaired and service has been restored. Samples can only be submitted during business hours.

Notification will be sent out when the Boil Water Notice is lifted. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience during this time.
