Residents are advised to boil their water for up to three days. Bacteria testing will then be conducted to make sure the water is safe to consume.
The city has advised residents to do the following:
“Please boil any water for one minute before drinking or consuming. Bottled water is a good alternative for those who recently had surgery, and immunocompromised, or have a chronic illness. You can use tap water for washing as long as you avoid ingesting it.”
