February 9, 2011

Effective immediately, a precautionary boil water notice has been issued for ECUA customers residing on West Kingsfield Road, from Highway 297A to Ransom Middle School at Fox Quarry Road, including the Bentley Oaks subdivision.

This notice is being issued following a water main break. Residents are advised to boil water for one minute at a rolling boil or to use 6 drops of regular unscented household bleach per gallon of water for water to be used for drinking of cooking purposes. Bacteriological sampling is underway and the advisory will be lifted as soon as possible.

ECUA crews have repaired the main, and are flushing out the lines. Residents are advised that there is a possibility of discolored water as a result of the break and flushing, and to flush their home’s plumbing by running their taps for a few minutes.

    >>Wow this would have been nice to know before we drank the water!

    We ran the notice as soon as it was issued, as did the PNJ. Not sure about any of the TV or radio stations.
