THIS BOIL WATER NOTICE WAS LIFTED THE AFTERNOON OF MARCH 29 AFTER TESTS SHOWED THE WATER IS SAFE TO DRINK.

A precautionary boil water notice has Cottage Hill Water Works customers on Stacey Road from Quintette Road to Highway 95A.

The boil water notice was issued following a water main break.

The utility is advising, 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.

This 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.

    I’m just saying there seems to a boil notice in this system every day. I didn’t see that at the last place I lived. In fact I only saw one the entire 10 years I lived there. So, yes, I will act as if this water is unsafe and drink only bottled water because it appears to be unsafe.

    Resident, it states “precautionary” as a precaution. It does not mean that anything harmful has been detected in the water. They have to test the water so many times as a “precaution” before they can drop the notice. The precaution is not stating the water is harmful, but rather a precaution just in case something pops up in a water sample. I’m sure they would be glad to discuss this with you if you were to call. I would really hate to think that you acted as though your water was never safe.

    Wow another one. I’m wondering if we need to always boil our water before using it!
