Boil Water Notice Continues For Some Bratt-Davisville Customers
June 20, 2010
The Bratt-Davisville Water System has issued a precautionary boil water notice for the residents of Highway 4, Bratt Road and Pine Barren Road following a water main break.
The Bratt-Davisville Water System advises as a precaution that all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes be boiled. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. As an alternative bottled water may be used.
The precautionary boil water notice will remain in effect until the problem has been corrected and a bacteriological survey shows that the water is safe to drink.
What to do during precautionary boil water notice (PBWN):
- When a PBWN is issued, a rolling boil for a period of one minute is sufficient to render water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes microbiologically safe, free of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.
- Tap water can be disinfected by adding 8 drops of unscented household bleach (4-6% active ingredients) to each gallon of water, then mixing the water and allowing it to stand for a minimum period of 30 minutes.
- Note: Cloudy water requires 16 drops of bleach and a 30 minute contact time. Also, other approved chemical disinfectants are available at stores that sell camping and hiking supplies.

This is the first I have heard of this. I need to boil my water and I’m wondering why I wasn’t I notified by the water company already. I will be giving them a call personally tomorrow.
Amen Missy! A good house cleaning just might do it!
They should have to either leave a written notice on doors and/or call ALL customers in the area that needs to boil water.
Not everyone has internet access. I didn’t find out until this afternoon we should have been boiling our water.
>I do not check the web site often, but now I hear about the water boil notice.
Maybe you should read it everyday. Most people do since they cover everything.
I do not check the web site often, but now I hear about the water boil notice. I agree there needs to be a better way to notify users of boiling water. No wonder my grandson was sick yesterday. Our water system officials leave a lot to be desired. I think we need to clean house the next election.
as much as we pay for water you might think they would send in the mail a warning or door notices thankgod for Northescambia.com. what about those who dont have a computer……They collect enough money if your late and get cut off $50 plus your bill to reconnect That is not right…….
Good thing that I decided to check-out northescambia.com on Sunday afternoon.
The notice begins at the Bratt Crossroads and runs East. This is just a precautionary notice.
Ok so it names 3 roads….what about roads between these roads?
How far down hwy 4 ?
