🚨 Boil Water Order in Effect for Pacific Area Residents

💧 What This Means for You

During the boil order, please take the following precautions to keep your household safe:

• Boil all tap water for at least 3 minutes before using it for drinking, brushing teeth, cooking, or washing food.

• Discard all ice and do not use ice from automatic ice makers. Remake ice only with boiled or bottled water.

• Disinfect dishes and food contact items by immersing them for at least one minute in clean tap water mixed with one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon.

• Let boiled water cool before drinking (about 110°F).

✅ What’s Still Safe

• Bathing and showering

• Doing laundry

• Watering plants

• Using bottled water

Boiling is only required for water you drink or cook with.

ℹ️ Why the Boil Order?

Boil orders are issued after major water main breaks or low-pressure events. They are precautionary while the water system is tested for safety.
